@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.
