@Cstnskld Fedi all depends on follow relationships, so if there's many users on an instance following many users on other instances, they will be more federated and discoverable than instances with less follow relationships

@BeAware @Cstnskld also if the instance is part of any relay too or not.

@hirad @Cstnskld true. Though I tend not to mention relays because they can't be relied on. Unless you host your own, you'll be at the mercy of those who run them and if they decide to shut them down, then you're back to square one.🤷♂️
