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?

I run a single user instance and it's horribly slow. Mostly because I only have HDDs and not enough RAM to compensate. I hope Lemmy 1.0 will increase database performance.

Piefed is supposedly much more performant. But I'm shying away from migrating because I don't want to lose my post history and uploaded pictures.
