If you're thinking about setting up your own single-user Mastodon instance, I urge you not to do it. The user experience is so broken that it's baffling that anyone would find it acceptable.
Honest question : Why Mastodon ? I had a single-user instance very soon after discovering the fediverse, but the needed stack to run a Mastodon instance is really insane compared to something like Akkoma / Iceshrimp.
I would never use Mastodon for a low number of users, including all the limitations compared to other micro-blogging activitypub compatible services.

There’s also GoToSocial which is made to be lightweight from the get go.
