| 587 | .Ss Subscribing to Fediverse Relays | ||
| 588 | Since version 2.69, a | ||
| 589 | .Nm | ||
| 590 | instance can subscribe to LitePub (Pleroma-style) Fediverse Relays. Doing this improves | ||
| 591 | visibility and allows following hashtags. To do this, you must create a special user named | ||
| 592 | relay and, from it, follow the relay actor(s) like you do with regular actor URLs. This | ||
| 593 | special user will start receiving boosts from the relay server of posts from other instances | ||
| 594 | also following it. It any other user of the same | ||
| 595 | .Nm | ||
| 596 | instance follows any of the hashtags included in these boosted posts coming from the relay, | ||
| 597 | they will received as if they were for them. | ||

| 605 | Lowering the data retention time for this special user is recommended, as the amount of | ||
