I’ve recently made some updates to the ActivityPub Relay I maintain. This includes a regularly updated list of connected instances for monitoring their status and having an easy way to refer to instances for inquiry. I’ve also added a relay policy which states instances will be banned for featuring bigoted content or having poor admin/uptime.

I definitely have room for some more Mastodon, Misskey, and Pleroma instances.

The relay server itself is located in the east coast of the United States, but open to all regions.

    What does an ActivityPub relay do? Is it for alerting servers of activity on other members of the relay?

      Relays rebroadcast public posts to instances that are subscribed to it. For admins, adding relays helps increase the potential amount of posts that reach your instance.
