Going to add a relay server to my #snac instance so that I can follow hashtags and then I'm maybe going to look into installing a #GeminiCapsule in a #FreeBsd #Bastille jail just because and experience using Molly Brown. 🤔
Right I've add the user relay to my #snac server and followed https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com and it seems to be working I think according to the instructions here:

https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2/src/commit/468b7a38885152cb2d61537abfdd9a4cda9c847a/doc/snac.8#L587

I've followed the #FreeBSD hashtag for now and will see what happens. One thing that does come to mind is that you now have a user called relay that doesn't actually seem to do much other than follow the actors ????
Do I now have to follow my relay or is this something that the snac server takes care of ???

Also is it a good idea or can the relay user follow multiple relay actors ??

@justine I'm really thinking about running my own instance.

You really should give #snac a try. It does take a minute getting used to the differences between Mastodon but once you're past that it's all good. I'd 100% recommend for a lightweight Mastodon replacement.
