Mastodon – A Federated Twitter Alternative
That's what it is tho. You create a time-line filter that shows only posts containing those hashtags - is that not a subscription?
There are also more literal implementations for this like SocialHome [1] where you can click + on hashtags you like and public post with them appear in your home timeline

Facebook Censored Me for Mentioning Open-Source Social Network Mastodon
* in case of a mute, it could also be not wanting their federated timeline to be flooded with primarily mastodon.social posts
Lack of federation between these instances and mastodon.social could be a reason not to pick mastodon.social. (Similar situation applies to mastodon.online btw, which is a spin-off server of m.s.)
Another reason to pick a different instance could be not wanting to use mainline Mastodon software. For example because you want to run your own instance on limited hardware (Mastodon can get a bit resource intensive), don't like Ruby, miss certain features, don't like the front-end (though alternative external front-ends to Mastodon do exist), or some other reason.
Personally I am on an instance that runs [Mastodon Glitch Edition, also known as Glitch-Soc](https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/), which is a compatible fork of Mastodon which implements a bunch of nice features such as increased post character count (Mastodon defaults to 500 characters per post, Glitch-Soc supports increasing this in the server settings), Markdown support (though only instances that also support HTML-formatted posts will see your formatting; mainline Mastodon servers will serve a stripped down version of your post instead), and improved support for filters / content warnings / toot collapsing, optional warnings when posting uncaptioned media, and other additional features.
Another alternative Mastodon fork is [Hometown](https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown) which focuses more on the local timeline (showing posts only from your own instance) with the addition of local-only posts, to nurture a tighter knit community.
Aside from Mastodon there are other implementations of ActivityPub which can still federate with Mastodon instances, such as [Misskey](https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey), [diaspora*](https://diasporafoundation.org/) (which AFAIK inspired Google Plus back in the day), [Hubzilla](https://hubzilla.org//page/hubzilla/hubzilla-project), [Peertube](https://joinpeertube.org/) (focused on peer-to-peer video distribution), [Friendica](https://friendi.ca/), [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/), [Socialhome](https://socialhome.network/), [GoToSocial](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial), [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org/) (which started as a sort of federated Instagram alternative) and more. [Fediverse.party](https://fediverse.party/) is a nice way to discover various protocols that make up the bigger Fediverse.

What's the best way to host an entirely private mastodon server only for myself?
You could try hometown as an alienating server? https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown

Is there a way to one-way federate with a Mastodon server? I want to set up a server where users can interact with the rest of the fediverse, but all local posts are only visible to users of the instance
What I'd recommend is that you ask about this on the Hometown github repo (https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown). Open an issue to put in a feature asking for admins to have the ability to restrict all users' posts to local only. I have no idea if Darius, the guy who maintains hometown, will be into the idea, but it can't hurt to ask.

Mastodon needs something between Local and Federated
I have a friend who is advocating for something called Neighborhoods. It's not exactly what you're talking about, but similar. https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/issues/1222

Does tooting Unlisted mean that only other users on your instance can see it?
Hometown is a fork of Mastodon that adds "local only" visibility, which is what you're describing. I hope that Mastodon eventually adopts it because it's extremely useful on smaller, focused instances.

Hometown v "regular" Mastodon
Hometown has two themes (aside from the basic ones that come with Mastodon): fairy-floss and macaron. See here for more info on those themes. I assume one of these two themes is what you are referring to.

Lists [Twitter -> Mastodon] (or de-cluttering Home)
It sounds like what you want is Exclusive Lists, a feature from the Hometown fork of Mastodon, which allows you to define certain lists as "exclusive" meaning that when you add someone to that list, they no longer show up on your Home timeline.

Scaling Mastodon in the Face of an Exodus
