Once a single person on your server has followed a person or group or shared a post, everyone on your server will be able to find it from searches. More info here: https://fedi.tips/which-posts-and-accounts-can-i-see-from-my-server/
Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what's happening.
Follow anyone across the fediverse and see it all in chronological order. No algorithms, ads, or clickbait in sight.
