Self hosting a Lemmy instance for just myself? (lemmy.world)

Heya, I'm trying out Lemmy and kinda like the idea of hosting a Lemmy instance just for me.

I was wondering:

What are the hardware/bandwidth requirements for a single user instance?
I know different instances can black list each other, but can they whitelist each other too? I don't want to be automatically unable to see interact with certain instances.
Has anyone else done this and have thoughts to share?
What about doing the same for Mastodon?

I host my personal instance on a beefier vps but it also hosts a few other tools I use. Lemmy is very slow and resource heavy to build but once running it's not terrible at hogging resources.
