    FediBuzz relays have been absolutely indispensable on my own single-user Mastodon server. Without them, following hashtags would be futile, as id only see hashtags from accounts I already follow.

    Unfortunately, Mastodon is killing FediBuzz in its next 4.2 update.

    My only other option is to relay with entire other servers, which will add tons of unwanted storage on my server – including shady stuff from the gross corners of those servers that I probably don’t want stored locally.

    It almost feels like they’re trying to push me to use a big server.
