Lemmy is little too complex for a one click install.
Lemmy consists of:
Each one of those has a number of environmental config options that need to be set before running it all. You need a domain name so that other instances can reach your instance. Your database needs a password, Pict-rs needs to know where to store things, etc.
With docker-compose it's almost there. Putting everything into a script with sensible defaults asking just for what is absolutely necessary should be relatively easy. It's just that nobody bothered to do that.
Of course, if you want to have a performant instance with more than one user you will have to tweak everything according to your needs. But to simply get up and running isn't that hard.
