As well as @FediFollows, @feditips and @FediVideos, I am now running a small website called Grow Your Own Services:
You can follow its account at @homegrown
GYOS is aimed at people interested in having their own indie online services, but who don't care about the techy stuff. All of the content assumes you are using a managed hosting company, where the hosting company handles the tech.
Hopefully this approach opens up self-hosting to a wider range of people.

The earliest home computers were just circuit boards. You had to be techy enough to supply your own case, keyboard, monitor, OS etc. There was a huge technical barrier that stopped people participating.
There's been a similar barrier in self-hosting for a long time, an assumption that you can do stuff on command lines etc. Most people (myself included) will never want to do this.
Managed hosting can remove barriers the same way ready-made computers did. I think it deserves attention!
