Wondering if running a single user Lemmy is an overkill (lemmy.erick.sh)

I am fairly new to Lemmy and was thinking of getting an account on one of the "big" servers to get the full experience, but then I figured I could do exactly the same thing as with my GoToSocial and other services: run my own instance.

I am wondering if this is an overkill or not. Any experience running your own small Lemmy instance? Are there better options that are compatible with Lemmy but lighter to run for this purpose?

The solution is to not proxy images. Might even be the default by now. That's a huge resource hog. No idea what pictrs is doing but it's still taking up a whole lotta space just for my own images.
