Lemmy/Piefed instance as Blog forum? (startrek.website)

I have a Hugo blog I'm setting up to work on my own forgejo server flow instead of through Github Pages.

I hate how pictures work on Hugo so I was going to just host them on a separate thing and embed the images that way.

Now I'm over thinking it and considering to just run a Lemmy instance, post the markdown for the blog posts there along with the images. Then I have an image host and a place to let people complain about my shotty writing in one go.

Plus there's federation visibility as well.

So short questions

This a good idea?
Are there better options?
is it easy enough to set up a single user Lemmy/Piefed instance?
Lemmy or Piefed? Which is easier to host

I basically do this with https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/

It's fine, I didn't really check out alternatives or real blog platforms though lol. It doesn't use many resources since it isn't subscribed to any remote communities. I can share resource usage numbers when I get home but it's really low, barely uses CPU, the backup zip files are like 60MB

edit: cpu is like below 1%, ram is maybe like 500MB used total? and the backup zip file is 55MB

edit 2: docker stats
