1) Say i setup a pleroma instance and subscribe to fse relay. Will that give me access to all posts that make to fse or only those that originate from fse. Also, is there a list with all the relays somewhere?
2) Is gotosocial any lighter/faster than pleroma?
3) You've probably seen it already but if you haven't check out https://github.com/plebbit . Reminded me of revolver with the difference being that it's community rather than user based and it lacks the very advanced features such as content addressed storage.
@laurel@p 1) Internal relays only repost public/unlisted posts from their own instance. 2) It might be, but it's cancer that can't properly federate due to hardcoded signed fetch requirements and the lack of proper relay functionality on itself. One glimpse of readme is enough to determine it's an attempt at making a hugbox with posts under lock and key, worse than ackoma even.
>signed fetch Ah, I had forgotten about this. You've posted extensively about it in the past. I did find a tool called FediFetcher, are there any other alternatives or do I make my own fetcher? Any other resources you'd recommend for fetching? I guess one could just scrape global timelines of big instances to make an active user list and then just fetch their posts directly.
>gotosocial is woke Thanks for letting me know, this type of software ends up being garbage anyway.
@laurel@p I don't use any external tools for backfilling profiles, so can't answer. You can, though, subscribe to Pleroma's internal relays as if they were regular accounts which might be useful in a pinch.
