hi,
The problem with hash tag-following is that it some on the messages that enter the instance in some way (either local or from the federation). This works great on big Instances and on specialised instances. However, on smaller less-special instances (like personal instances or -say-an instance for a mid-sized city with 50 members) ... it works much less.
But that is then where grup.pe and following public instances of remote instances comes in.
Kr.
Smaller instances can subscribe to federation relays to ingest more messages. Works quite well, but does come at a higher server resource use.
Hi, Correct. For you info. I co-manage a activity-pub relay for fediverse instances oriented towards hamradio. If you are interested in peering, feel free to send me a ping)
