It looks like a lot of people want to self-host Lemmy. Would having an ActivityPub relay setup for those instances to subscribe to, instead of them all subscribing individually to the bigger instances be feasible? I’ve only seen discussions online about relays in regards to Mastodon. Has anyone attempted to set up one for use with Lemmy instances?

    I’ve been pondering trying to make one, but it’s not going to be a cake-walk. The tool (that was a script) I wrote ruffled some feathers for it’s potential to destroy the lemmyverse. While I don’t believe that could happen. I’m still interested in something easier and more integrated.

    The theory is simple and I am willing to take a stab at it, but there might be road blocks trying to make or incorporate changes to the actual lemmy code.
