       I am really excited to watch streams of #FOSDEM talks tomorrow concerning #Fediverse discovery and following global hashtags: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/track/social-web/I believe that this all could work much better than #FediBuzz if it gets built into server implementations itself.

       @astro Some servers already have all the necessary capabilities. The missing piece is https://github.com/astro/buzzrelay/issues/79

       @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.

       @astro @silverpill you might be interested to hear that Evan announced a global hashtag service to launch in March https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/WNDQUQ-tags-pub/

       @djangotags.pub is a project to implement that feature -- collecting tagged content and redistributing it by hashtagThis is exactly what FediBuzz does. It works great and @astro just added a nice feature to it, which I am about to test.
