I did setup a new mastodon instance by following their official documentation. Cloud provider: AWS OS: Ubuntu 20.04 mastodon version: tag v3.5.5
Everything looks good. I can sign up and publish toots. However, the instance seems isolated from the rest of the world.
I do not get any results when I search for something in the search text area.
Also, I don't see anything when I click on "Home", "Notifications", "Explore", "Local", "Federated" tabs except for my own toots.
I checked the logs for each events I have mentioned above, but couldn't find any errors

I tried restarting the server entirely after the installation. Even so, the server seems isolated.
