You must be able to administrate and pay for a server.
Apart from that, it would not be nice to participate in the network and use the computing capacity of others, but not bring any infrastructure into the network yourself (by registration lock).
So, if I already have a server in my house, I could theoretically spin up a Lemmy or kbin instance solely for myself?
In that case you need a suitable router, a static IP address or a DNS service, besides your own domain.
