Mastodon seems a bear to run. Have you considered the lightweight snac2?

https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2

I'm paying masto.host for an instance, but would be tempted to switch to
snac2 if it suppported account migrations (which, alas, it does not:
"simple, minimalistic" implementations are not full featured).

I might switch my bot account over to a snac2 instance, as I don't care
much about history there. Currently I'm using an even lighter weight
activitypub framework, activity-bot. My fork:

if you are installing via snap you might not like complex installs
