Hey Fedi admins, need some opinions and advice 🙏

There's a service called FediBuzz Relay which provides highly specialised relays of particular hashtags or particular instances:

https://relay.fedi.buzz

When I've told admins about this service, opinions have gone in two opposite directions, with some praising it as an easy way of quickly adding specialised content to small instances, while others say it's misusing the Fediverse.

Would appreciate honest opinions about it.

I feel more like the former (adding content to small instances). We use it to find and push posts with various Indiana-related hashtags to our timelines.

@brian Yeah. It's a great tool for hashtags as single user instance.

I've been experimenting with my own single-user instance and I'm using FediBuzz relay. Without it, hashtags and the federated timeline are essentially unusable.
