Is there a video that will tell me how to set up our own server as if I were 5 years old? (lemmy.world)

I am not a computer engineer or a software developer. I have never set up a server in my life. I want to set up a server on my old computer by watching videos and doing the same things that were done. Is there a video that will tell me how to set up our own server as if I were 5 years old? We will be very happy if someone who knows can prepare this video and share it with us. Edit:To host my own "lemmy" account

Unless you actually want to start getting into this as a hobby, you’re better off buying something to do this for you.

I have a Synology NAS and it’s easy to set up OneDrive type functionality where you can keep files synchronised between your laptop and your home storage. You can also do the same for your phone so that photos automatically sync too.
