#FediBuzz Relay


Hi !Friendica Developers
Today I learned about Fedi.buzz where one can follow Trends in the Fediverse and there's a website where Admins can "bring the global buzz of toots into the Federated Timeline of their small server by following ActivityPub relays."
I wanted to ask if it's possible to setup a new relay for Friendica and if so, how?
Is there an addon available for that?

@Aaron I am confused by that site. It is not one of the ActivityRelay servers and source code is not yet published. It suggests that as a normal user you can fill the federated timeline, even if your admin doesn't subscribe to a relay. Sounds like bannable behaviour. It offers to follow instances that don't connect to any relay at all. It seems to result in extra notifications per post. Like I said, I'm confused.

Anyway, as far as I know Friendica is compatible with ActivityRelay already, no add-on needed. I haven't looked into it but may soon try it out (with a normal ActivityRelay server).

There are no extra notifications per post from what I know.
Yeah I wonder how Friendica is compatible with ActivityRelay server? Does it have to be activated manually in the settings?

@Aaron no, you can add relays with bin/console, do you know the console?
