Kind of a big jump from a pi but I believe Intel NUCs come in single board arm configurations

Idk what the minimum requirements are, but If you have any issue getting your hands a raspberry pi, ZimaBoards seem to be cool
Saw in some post, CPU/RAM isn't an issue for a small instance, only store if there's a lot of images posted, but only if posted on that instance.
Maybe database could be an issue, if there's many posts
EDIT: Check this post comments https://lemmy.ml/post/1188427
A pi could definitely host it, but you will need a USB storage drive, don't put the database or uploaded files on the SD card. Networking might also be an issue; I believe that pis have their wifi and ethernet running over USB and that might create a bottleneck.
Lemmy is pretty lightweight. My instance is using (in total), very little CPU and like 1.8 Gb of RAM, most of which is postgres.
For example, here's the last 24 hours of usage for my Lemmy namespace on kubernetes. not much usage at all.
