Resources for small and large instances (lemmy.ml)

I'm wondering, what resources does Lemmy need? For a small instance (let's say, me and some friends) or a large instance (think Lemmy.ml or Lemmy.world or the like...).

Also, where do y'all host your instances?

Lemmy runs fine when you start out, with only a few comments and posts in the PostgreSQL database. The real problems come in 0.18 when you start to join communities from other servers and get more and more data in the system. Then your performance needs start to climb rapidly.
