How to (safely) create a Lemmy instance? (lemmy.world)

Basically, I want to make one for some multiplayer games out there (along with Stoat communities, or something similar - what do y'all recommend? Bonus if it has voice chat).

What would I need, and how can I set this up safely without having my own network hacked beyond comprehension? I could do it off site from home too if that's better.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4gb, but also an old DDR3 16gb desktop with a PCI network card available if that's recommended.

Couldn't you just create the communities on an existing server? Obviously it would be good to not be on the biggest one to help spread out the community, as that's the point of federation. If it's on a server with existing users, you're more likely to get members join as it will show in their local feed.
