I tried earlier today and I had no luck actually getting an instance running

It would help if the explanation was specific to a raspberry pi

Agree with others here. Ansible isn't for beginners and neither is a Lemmy instance.

Try some other projects first, maybe some docker containers that involve a reverse proxy.

For example, NextCloud is a very useful thing to set up as a project, but I would say that you specifically need the new Pi 5 with plenty of RAM for that. The Pi 4 doesn't handle a full NextCloud installation well.

I have the pi5 with 8gb of ram. Is that enough?

Oh yeah I think so. Honestly NextCloud is slow on any platform, so don't be surprised if you're not impressed. But it's a neat project to set up.
