I probably can’t help much when it comes to TrueNAS, all of my experience is running it on Docker in Linux. AFAIK there is no plugin/jail for it out of the box, the easiest would probably to run a Linux VM on it and follow one of the official lemmy install guides using either Ansible or Docker (compose). I am sure you could figure out a way to install it from scratch in a jail, but that is beyond my experience with BSD.
In addition to the setup of the server itself you’ll want a domain, DNS, SSL and to figure out port forwarding (assuming your TrueNAS box is at home) at a bare minimum. Someone asked a similar question earlier and you can read a slightly longer response for these things in my response to them in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml. I also suggest there that a cloud provider like digitalocean or linode would probably be more reliable and easier for some things and could be done (in a way that supports at least a small instance) on a budget of <$10/mo.
If you have any questions or want a more opinionated answer as to how I would set it up let me know.
Thanks a bunch! I forgot to mention I have TrueNas Scale, which is debían based and supports Docker. I’ll have a read at the official docs, thanks again!

Oh and I like the suggestion for the digital providers. I currently have a local box but I’m open to anything really. Just need to dip my toes
