I recently set up a couple of Mastodon instances - one for an interest group, and one for my family. The latter is effectively dead, but the former is slowly gaining users. The biggest problem I've found is content discover. Mastodon works well for new users if the instance you're on has others who follow users that interest you - otherwise, silence. There is no way that I've found to search the entire multiverse, and no easy way to bootstrap an instance by connecting to other instances or other instances' users en masse.
