   @silverpill does Mitra have a relay actor or any similar mechanism? I was looking at docs about it as I wanted Schwartzwelt's relay to follow it (hopefully enabling quicker federation) but couldn't find anything

     @tadano No, it doesn't have a relay actor.

     Could you elaborate?

     @tadano When you're following someone, their messages are delivered to you ASAP and following their instance relay won't help (and may actually increase delivery times). Messages from people you're not following might be delivered to you with delay, or not delivered at all, that depends on many factors. Following their instance relay will ensure that messages are delivered.

     @silverpill In my experience (no quantifiable results, purely subjective), following/being followed by relays got posts, emotes and other such data federated across instances quickly. Which makes sense considering IIRC a relay sends out all the posts being made on a given instance. I figure if Mitra had one, instances could just follow it and get everything in the federated TL quickly. Please let me know if this conjecture is incorrect/comparable to the ravings of the insane.
