@feditips can't understand what are you talking about. Could you simplify that please?

@feditips Would the benefit be that you are getting a much more niche inflow to the federated feed compared to a more general relay service?

If I get this right, #FediBuzz would be great for one person instances like my own? Subscribing to a specific hashtag wouldn’t bog my server down with content I probably aren’t interested in?

@feditips Checkout https://relaylist.com a list of relays with uptime

@feditips Server Admin for hoosier.social and we use this service to promote posts with #Indiana #HoosierMast #Hoosier and #HoosierSocial to our timeline. Works great!

@feditips

Looks like this is designed to run on #Mastodon instances?
(Meaning, servers that uses the original Mastodon server software...)

@feditips @atomicpoet chances are this came from you and Fedi news. But passing it on, just in case. cc @mmasnick, @jeffjarvis, @davetroy, @davidslifka, @elipariser, @scafaria @Green_Footballs

@feditips thanks, this is useful to avoid receiving unwanted content from relaying but also get to interesting content

@feditips @mastodonmigration

This is awesome. Single user server here and nice to be able to get relays of specific tags/instances rather than relaying everything. Thanks!

@feditips Relays also allow for users to self-host instances from ISPs that don't believe that maintaining the end-to-end principle is part of their job for whatever reason.

With some modification, they would also facilitate #clearnet to and fro #darknet / #meshnet federation.

@feditips if this works this _brilliant_ for small sites.

@feditips been relaying with fedibuzz for a couple weeks and it does seem to be helping to propagate content with niche hashtags

@feditips Wow, been looking for something like this. I use a dozen relays but this is great addition on top of those. Thanks.

@feditips This is phenomenal for us self-hosted instance folks! Super easy to implement.

@feditips Alright, you got my attention, I’ll give it a try and see how it goes

@feditips If you are using relay.fedi.buzz you'll likely be missing lots of replies to posts.

FediFetcher can help with this:

@feditips
Just wanted to confirm, are there any limits to the number of relay URLs we can use? As stated previously, I'm a single user instance. I'm following more and more people, but being able to relay niche hashtags really seems to be helping expand what I am seeing. But, I do not want to be inadvertently abusing the relay server by adding a massive number of tag/instance relay URLs.
