This is where I think Akkoma's "bubble" timeline idea is amazing. It allows you to list all the instances you want to appear on your instance's timeline and it will pull their timelines and then stitch it together to make a "neighbourhood" timeline in the Bubble Timeline. This is where I can still follow other instances without the giant firehose effect of the federated timeline after I add noisy relay servers.

So for me I have instances like mstdn.ca, thecanadian.social, ottawa.place, infosec.exchange, hachyderm.io and a couple others, and I can see their feed in my Bubble Timeline as I have listed them as my "neighbours". It's an incredible feature.

Keep in mind that you still need a list of relay servers but at least the bubble timeline concept lets you tailor that experience. This is probably one of the best features Akkoma has came up with. Hopefully it's something that Mastodon takes up in the future.

I do like the concept that you found by @g3rv4 but I think his tool only works with Mastodon, not sure if it works with Akkoma. If it does, it'll be nice to try out because content discovery is probably the biggest issue for single user instances.

I'm also really keen on that relay implementation that @nova & her team are working on, sounds like it can also solve the issues that many small & single user instances are facing when it comes to getting more content as well.

Love seeing so much creativity to solve problems for the #fediverse, thanks everyone!
