   @signaleleven @mastohost

   Yeah, the Fedibuzz relay is much more specific.

     @signaleleven Yep, that is not possible.

     But had you have a look at https://relay.fedi.buzz/

     As @feditips puts it "This is a new service that lets you subscribe to custom relays based on specific hashtags or specific other servers. This can greatly reduce the amount of resources required by relays, as it only sends posts that are relevant to the topics you have selected for your server." - https://fedi.tips/using-relays-to-quickly-expand-a-servers-view-of-the-fediverse/

     @mastohost I somehow was convinced, until today, that I could subscribe to the public timeline of other servers, as a relay.
     It makes sense that it's not possible. But the relays I find are firehoses and I wanted to leverage the fact that there are thematic instances to seed my server with content that has a higher chance to be about a specific topic. That is the first misconception of the federation I have to rethink.

     I set up a mastodon instance on masto.host for an association I am part of (not sure why I'm being vague, I basically have no opssec).
     Nice to see the backend of mastodon after years 😅

     At some point I might self host it but the association is a bit stretched thin from the technical point of view, and @mastohost was such a breeze to set up that I wish I did it months ago.

     I have to select a good relay now...
