Are there any technical/performance reasons why I couldn’t create an instance for myself and host a Plex server off of the same machine at home?

I’m fairly new to self-hosting in general, so any insight would be appreciated!

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention that this would be for a Mastodon instance, not for Lemmy.

    Doesn’t all the federated images take up a shit ton of space?

      Images aren’t federated, but their thumbnails are stored in your instance. You can prune those though as needed.
