Ok, technically it's a not a full-network one - I added ~2000 known self-hosted PDSes there, but *without* Bluesky-run ones. Which means it has like 2 orders of magnitude less traffic than a full one… But if you're self-hosting a PDS, you should see your records streaming through there, if you either send a requestCrawl there or my PDS indexer has found you.

Note, this currently uses ~200 kbit/s traffic and ~200 MB disk space, Munin stats here: https://relay.feeds.blue/munin/
Like Christine, I think the future of the fediverse will look quite different to the current Mastodon-dominated network, and more like the user experience offered by BS;

The raw materials already exist to build this evolution of the verse. The question is, how do we pull it all together?
(6/6)
The current adoption landscape ( #rss, #bluesky, #mastodon) highlights various technical possibilities but doesnt span whats possible, nor what is needed.
These three datapoints define a plane of possibilities but the actual space is probably much bigger.
