Self-host personal Mastodon instance and Plex server (lemmy.ca)

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.

As an example of my parents’ non-tech savvyness they have put off updating apps on their phones for years because they don’t trust that the updates are secure. I just don’t have the energy to act as a constant line of tech support.

Ya know, it's a weird thing. There are only a couple of things I consider myself an expert in, and am regarded as such, as people ask me for advice, but then turn around and immediately disregard my advice, and later come to regret it, only to disregard my advice again later.

People are strange.
