Alpine is great on the desktop too! I use it on all my desktops, laptops and servers.

I kind of prefer mini flux but I maintain the freshrss package in Alpine so I have an instance to test things.
I have 5 servers in total. All except the iMac are running Alpine Linux.
Ziply fiber 100mb small business internet. 2 Asus AX82U Routers running in AiMesh.
Raising electronics 27U rack
One is running mailcow, dnsmasq, unbound and the other is mostly idle.
The iMac is setup by my 3d printers. I use it to do slicing and I run BlueBubbles on it for texting from Linux systems.
Mostly doing nothing, currently using it to mine Monero.
Alpine Linux edge
I would not suggest mastodon for such low powered hardware, its also overkill for a personal instance. Akkoma or GotoSocial would work much better on a Pi. The annual cost is pretty much just 3-15$/year for the domain name.
My home directory is a git repo with a .gitignore that contains something like
*
!.config/sway
!.config/sway/*
!.config/sway/**/*
It’s an environment variable. I have MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=true in my sway wrapper script.
Zoom does not work in wayland
The zoom Linux client is crappy so if the web one does not work for you I would suggest just booting into windows and using it.
Fuzzel is also nice if you are using Wayland.
App images don’t work on alpine. Use flat pack or run the app image in a chroot
