Are there any technical/performance reasons why I couldn’t create an instance for myself and host a Plex server off of the same machine at home?

I’m fairly new to self-hosting in general, so any insight would be appreciated!

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention that this would be for a Mastodon instance, not for Lemmy.

I should have specified that I was interested in creating a Mastodon instance, not Lemmy, but I’m glad to know that I could do that should I want to build one.

I’ve looked into Jellyfin as a secondary service. At the moment my parents have gotten used to navigating Plex and having them re-learn something new over the phone is…not something I have the energy or time for lol
