If you want to use it just for yourself (thus removing the load of your own usage from the other public instances), sure.
If you intend to open it up for many users, you need to consider whether you're capable of managing that kind of load. Lemmy is relatively lightweight though.
On my post here, you can find some informations about other people running an instance in the comments.
Excellent post, thanks. It looks like one of the bigger issues is with images, since they're significantly larger than text. I wonder if it's possible to disable image uploads, and just require links.
