I do not understand how it decides what to show you. Might try e-mail from that node to this or vice versa to see if that makes it. There are something on the order of 4.5 million people on the fediverse so obviously it can't show everything to everyone.
I am still in exploration mode as far as the Fediverse is concerned. I am trying to find the widest network of like-minded individuals and the most reliable communication means. I want to be prepared to circumvent increasing censorship in the future.
That's why I put this node up, working on some others (mastodon, diaspora, peertube).
Are you familiar with Yunohost.org? It helped me succeed in setting up a Pleroma instance om a VPS after several unsuccessful attempts trying to install by trying to follow instructions which called for typing in a series of commands on the command line.
No, but I run my own hosting service (Eskimo North eskimo.com/) so can pretty much create whatever is needed.
