How to self host my own lemmy server? (self.fediverse)

I want to self host my own lemmy instance for personal use. I have seen there Github page and it is really easy to set up but I have some questions?

How will I be able to federate with other instances?
Will I be able to interact with communities from other instances?
What type of hardware will be required to self host?
And finally is it worth to run our own instance?

              There is option in the admin panel with whom to federate and whom to block.
Yes, just like I do now.
Depends on the size, it can very well run on 1CPU 1Mem
Single instance of the above size does not go over 5$, so for me it's worth.
