Julia Evanssome notes on using a single-person Mastodon server https://jvns.ca/blog/2023/08/11/some-notes-on-mastodon
IAintShootinMis@b0rk morning Julia! Love your zines! I also run my own instance. Re the local timeline, adding relays via fedi.buzz allows you to pull in whole servers public timelines or public hashtagged posts. This has helped my instance feel a little more homey, and allowed me to follow interesting content.
