Do you want to make your own Mastodon server? It's much easier and cheaper than you think, there are three ways to do it:

NON-TECHY - A "managed hosting" company does all the techy stuff for you behind the scenes. Starts from 5 to 10 euros per month all inclusive.

SLIGHTLY TECHY - Services like @yunohostYunoHost :neopossum_box: provide a graphical interface for VPNs & home servers.

VERY TECHY - Manually installing using the official documentation and command lines.
