Title, I want to host a Lemmy instance and to save money I was hoping to use a pizero that I already have. I would consider a vps, but I worry about bandwidth

You won't be able to host a big instance.

According to this thread https://lemmy.ml/post/440678?scrollToComments=true 1GB of ram should be enough for a small one. The pi zero has 512MB. I'd say you should still try, just so we know
