I'm looking for a new Mastodon instance. I'm not satisfied with the moderation on fosstodon. Does anyone have any recommendations? (beehaw.org)

It does work that way, but Mastodon and some other microblogging software like Firefish (fka Calckey), Pleroma, etc. can also use relays to populate their federated timelines.

Oh right, I remember hearing about relays. Is that something the admin of the instance controls?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yup! If the software supports it, instance admins can usually add relays from their control panel.
