One of the biggest criticisms of Mastodon's technical capabilities involves how limited its search system is. With a new update, everything has changed.
The hard part isn’t setting up an instance. The hard part is getting it well-federated. If it’s not well-federated then you’re going to be in a party on your own. If you have a fairly large follow list (about 3-5k) it may be better, but overall it’ll be a bad experience.

Thats so cool. How hard is to setup an instance? Like to i have to buy an actual server?

Sorry, when I say mine, I mean the one I signed up for, not the one I run
