You don't need to host a Mastodon instance yourself. Plenty of them are open for registration :)

e.g https://masto.ai/ or https://fosstodon.org

Thank you! I feel silly for asking when the answer really was right there in my face. I was able to sign up with a service. Apprise will hopefully have Mastodon support next!
