I am considering creating my own lemmy instance as my current instance (lemmy.world) is often down, and I enjoy this kind of a project. That being said I haven’t been able to find any resources on hw needed for this? If I have a raspberry pi 4b 8g with 128gb is that enough for just me using it? Do I need to pay for a cloud server to host it? How can federation work if I only have <10 users tops? Anything else I might need to know?

Can you elaborate on the issue with viewing all? If I just want to scroll and see stuff will I be bc able to see anything across the fediverse that I am federated with or is it really only stuff I am subbed to?

Servers only receive content from communities that at least one user on them is subbed to. Servers do not download the entire fediverse, only the bare minimum to cover what the users on it have asked for.
