I'm trying to provide unofficial direct tech support for using this place.
There is no such thing as a silly question, especially keen to help new or non-technical people who want answers in plain language.

Is it possible to host an instance for a single account or few accounts, and make it discoverable through the wider fediverse?

Yes, that's what I do
Lots of people have single user instances.If anyone follows you, your posts become visible to their entire server. So, once you've got a few followers from different servers, your posts will show up on all those different servers.
There's more tips for discoverability at https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-get-more-followers-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse and more tips for people running a small server at https://fedi.tips/using-relays-to-quickly-expand-a-servers-view-of-the-fediverse

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services wondering if you know anything about Akkoma’s automatic post deletion behavior. Easy enough to find how to set it up, but unlike Mastodon I don’t see any means of telling Akkoma which posts not to delete. Is that just not possible on Akkoma? Post deletion applies to all posts, regardless if pinned or bookmarked?

As far as I can tell Akkoma lacks this feature, there is a request for it at https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/issues/447
