@73pctGeek I've tried to do a non-technical guide to making your own Mastodon instance here: https://growyourown.services/making-your-own-mastodon-server-in-10-stepsThere are also things you can do as an admin to get more of the Fedi visible on your server: https://fedi.tips/using-relays-to-quickly-expand-a-servers-view-of-the-fediverseAdded to that, the imminent update of Mastodon will make running your own instance much easier as all replies from all threads will be automatically shown even if you're on a single-user server.I'd say try it and see how it goes
