@silverpill So this is what LitePub is for? There is now also https://github.com/mastodon/fediverse_auxiliary_service_provider_specifications/blob/main/discovery/data_sharing/v0.1/data_sharing.md

@astro LitePub was like a dialect of ActivityPub, but LitePub relay protocol - yes, it is used for both publishing and consuming content.

FediBuzz can follow servers and even other LitePub relays, which will Announce public posts to it.

I think FASP is not necessary because we already have similar capabilities in ActivityPub. And those capabilities can be expanded: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/idea-for-a-more-capable-relay-server/8442

@silverpill I implemented that relay follow-back in October 2023 and triggered it a few times since then. Gets me 1% of the content compared to Mastodon client APIs.

Looking at the traffic, I get POSTs on that endpoint from a few manually-entered relays and from Mastodon and Friendica instances that use the buzzrelay. But these two send me every post many times for each of the hashtags they follow on https://relay.fedi.buzz. This spikey traffic amplification scares me and I want it resolved.
