I'm another worshipper of ubergeek's script! Literally went from pounding my head against my desk to setting up my brand new instance where basically everything worked!

I can ALWAYS jam to this. Thanks for sharing!!!
After a looooong day of trial and error and basically learning all of this from scratch, I am happy to say I have finally gotten my own instance up and running!
HUGE credits goes to @[email protected] for creating a script to install Lemmy in just a few simply commands. Definitely reccomend checking out his work if you're brand new to all of this: https://lemmy.world/post/249889
Although I ended up taking the "easy way out", I do want to take a moment to thank all of you for taking the time to comment and contribute time to help me sort out this problem. This is such a warm and welcoming communtiy and I really appreciate it. Cheers from SoCal!
I tried my best to use mastodon as a platform to post to lemmy/kbin but ran into a major problem: nested comments get lost to the ether, and there's no way for you to reply to them using the same account.
Because of this, and basically this alone, I decided to forfeit mastodon all together and opt for a self hosted lemmy instance. I just got it set up and running this evening and so far, I'm not looking back.
Might set up another mastodon instance later, but that's if I start to miss it.
