Are you an admin on a smaller Ham Radio server or single user server as an Amateur and you want more 📻 content fed into your "Federated" timeline so it feels less like you're on a server all your own?

I'm only involved in that I provided the server and bandwidth, but @n6mts is experimenting in setting up a #AmateurRadio ActivityPub relay to bring separate servers closer together. Ping him if you're interested in being involved. #mastodonAdmin #fediverse

@kwf To be clear! This is for #HamRadio themed public servers, or small private servers of ham radio operators, only! This is _NOT_ a general purpose relay. Thank you for understanding. 🙂

@n6mts @kwf How do I know if I am putting out the wrong material? I must admit the mastodon stuff is a bit confusing. I mostly try to listen.(read)

@Kf7gd @kwf Once you're on a server, you can post anything you want there. Picking a server is like picking a neighborhood. You want to surround yourself generally with the community you want to be a part of, but you're still your own person doing your own thing.

There is no "putting out wrong material."

My comment about the relay was, It's not my intention for a (eg) knitting community to join the radio community relay. But don't let that stop you from posting about knitting.
