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.

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:
