I'm selfhosting Lemmy and its SUPER fast. Just think of it more of a personal caching layer than anything else.

Oh yeah, your instance is fast. That's nice! What hardware are you running on?

Just the cheapest Digital Ocean instance that is on a 2 core CPU. It helps that its just me on there, so I don't have to share with anyone... yet.
