I'm using a 4 cores 24 Gb server, to be fair, it's only using 6 Gb.
I hit the limit when someone with lots of followers boost or reply to my posts because of the CPU.
The main culprit is sidekick and maybe the lack of HW acceleration on SSL due to the ARM architecture.

I've been maintaining a misskey server (here) and it's connected to ~10,000 instances with 2.6 million post records. It likes to expand into 16GB of ram then relaxes into about ~8GB. I am fairly certain it would be ok with fewer memories.
My biggest gripe about fediverse is the storage. I have to cull data so i don't have to monkeypatch drive size increases on the hypervisor. median storage is about 300GB give or take.
What's wild is that it was only about 2700 instances in november, but a large mastodon instance imploded and the userbase went everywhere, so as people posted "here i am" i added them, and that ballooned the connected instances.
hooray for open source, i think.
