I'm unaware of hardware requirements, but specs will entirely depend on how many users and communities (local and federated) an instance has. I'm running on a very small VPS with no current desire to add users.
Server owners have discretion over community creation and federation. If you create your own instance, you're totally free to have whatever communities you like.
I fail to see a reason for Meta to be an ActivityPub peer except to stifle growth of our open source network of communities. Big Tech want silos.
