   @evan I have thought about doing it but the problem is, my instance would be so small that I am not sure how discoverable it will be and how much it will pull in from the fediverse

     @TheSteve0 @evan My instance has two active users, and it feels like things work well if you put the work in. Relays are helpful. There are definitely parts of the fediverse I do not see, though.

     @DLink @TheSteve0 sorry to hear that. I think of a social network as a way to connect with people you care about. I don't think it makes any sense to try to see the whole fediverse. I should have said it in a nicer way.

     @evan @TheSteve0 Do you know how discouraging it is to get such a sarcastic comment from someone you respect?

     @TheSteve0 I don't understand this consideration. Social networks are about following people you are interested in. Nobody has to discover your server. You can follow accounts from a single-user server just fine.

     @TheSteve0 ok. I think there are some ways we could make that better.

     @evan My experience being on a smaller host is that I don't see much of the # activity that is on other servers. There are messages I know exist and I can search for them but they don't come up on my instance. I may have the tech wrong but I am sure I am not getting all the messages for tags.
