Getting federation working as advertised is a pain in the ass. I ran a solo instance back when Mastodon was new, and there was no end to the nonsense it generated. That's why I'm now subscribed to the instance @ernest is running. :)
Ernest is running lemmy instance or you’re talking about kbin?
Yeah, kbin here.
Just setup my own Masto server for myself. My initial thought was, "Crap, I can't follow anything by hashtag anymore," since I'm the only user and nothing would get pulled in by federation.
Then I learned about using https://relay.fedi.buzz to create a whole bunch of relays based on hashtags. And now it's pretty much perfect for how I use it.
My federation feed is just stuff I like, and my server doesn't get filled with random crap from federating with hundreds of full-ass servers like typical relays give you.
