I saw that 4 days ago when I decided to get a new server for my lemmy instance that they offered arm processors in one of their German data centers. It was a little bit cheaper than the intel ones but not much. But somehow I thought that there is probably no arm build available of lemmy and then i'd need to compile it myself and all the hassle so I just went the easy way. But I was intrigued.
I was hosting a bit of a test instance on Oracle's ARM cloud platform. There are ARM Docker images. Though last I heard people were asking for the ARM image to be updated to 0.17.4
But other than that no it was just like installing on x86
