@a let's say you wanted an opt-in fedi firehose, is there a way to do this already

@sun wdym "firehose", like a relay?

@a yeah, watch every public post from an opt-in list of servers

@sun if they're running pleroma you can just follow internal.relay or relay or whatever the username is (assuming it's enabled in settings by the admin)

otherwise there's mastodon-style relays and pleroma-style relays which you can send posts to

@a shit they're different?

@sun yes although i think many relay softwares support both. have a look at https://w3id.org/fep/ae0c for a writeup
