What are the hardware requirements for hosting a Lemmy instance for a single account?
I'm interested in possibly hosting my own Lemmy instance - just for my own account. I was thinking of hosting it on Raspberry Pi (possibly the 1GB Pi 4 B), but I couldn't find much for definitive information on what the hardware requirements would be for such an instance to know if this is even possible. How much storage is required? Is the Pi 4 CPU powerful enough? How much memory?

Ever? That sounds too good to be true. Especially with that much RAM.
-edit-
Oh wow, I see their always free tier and it's true. Impressive!

Their free tier is prone to being shut down without warning, though.
It kinda is too good to be true.
True, but for playing around with lemmy and doing some test's it's ideal - and it's free! In case you are serious about hosting a lemmy instance, there should be at least some sort of backup/ disaster recovery strategy in place.
