The Schwarzschild De Sitter metric can be used to study the gravity of a dominant mass in an expanding universe:

The critical mass at which the black hole horizon coincides with the cosmic event horizon (the Nariai limit) is

where the radii of the horizons are derived by setting

to 0 and solving for the positive solutions for r.
The maximal mass of a black hole in a De Sitter universe with our cosmological constant that is Λ≈1e-52/m² would be ≈4.3e52kg:

The attraction of a galaxy like ours is offset by the expansion of the universe at a distance of about 1 megaparsec, so that a test particle that is at that distance from the galaxy is attracted by it as much as it is accelerated away from it by the dark energy.
The physical distance of a test particle from the dominant mass remains constant at the equilibrium radius (while the distance in co-moving coordinates is shrinking). If the dominant mass rests relative to the background radiation, i.e. flows with the Hubbleflow, our stationary test particle can no longer also rest relative to the background radiation, since it is not flowing with the Hubble flow when it is stationary with respect to the central mass.
Equilibrium radius: the neutonian orbital velocity is set equal to the vacuum recession velocity and resolved to r:

The frames of those local observers build the hypersurface of constant t in comoving coordinates.
