Does anyone run their own Lemmy instance on a pi? How was the process of setting it up? Were there any pitfalls? How is performance?

I don't think there should be any problems, lemmy is a fairly lightweight web application, it's compiled so no big overhead of some runtime like ruby in case of mastodon. I haven't tried it on a raspberry Pi, but on my server the load is always just around 0.1

The only bottleneck I could think of was Postgres, but I've been running postgres on raspberry pies without any problems before too.
