Would a raspberry pi zero manage to host a Lemmy instance? (lemmy.ml)

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.
