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?

Not quite, most of the media is not pulled in from other servers but just linked to the original one from the browser, there are some circumstances where the media is copied but much less than mastodon.
