Title, I want to host a Lemmy instance and to save money I was hoping to use a pizero that I already have. I would consider a vps, but I worry about bandwidth
No, the pi zero is not going to be capable of running a Lemmy instance. I wouldn’t recommend running it on a Pi at all unless you plan to store files on an SSD. I currently run my very tiny instance with just two users on a vpc with two CPU cores and 4gb of RAM but I still occasionally have performance issues.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhost@lemmy.ml

Lemmy instance requieres at minimun 150mb of RAM, the CPU usage is minimum. Don’t expect it to scale well to a lot of users, but it should work for a few users. More info here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html:
Thanks friend.
