You can host a server, but you can't talk with people on the official Signal server or any other Signal server, as far as I am aware. This is not federated, just allowing of other isolated centralized clusters.

The Signal server software has federation support. It's not enabled (anymore) on the official server but anyone could set up a server and federate with other federation enabled Signal servers.
