How much cpu, ram and storage would mastodon or any other fediverse software require.
And what happens in downtome of several days (like electricity outage on self hosted setup)

I am not a sysadmin, I have a server through a managed hosting service so they handle all the technical stuff.
If there's server downtime, other servers will try again later to contact your server.

@feditips so can people view posts from their servers cache for some amount of time

Yes, the cache persists for a long time unless the admin empties it specifically.
The system is designed to cope with servers going down for a while. It works a bit like email, which also retries sending later if a remote email sever is down.
