Beginner #Fediverse developer here with a question; How do I tell the wider #ActivityPub universe that my server exists? I think I understand most of the interactions, but if I create a post on my server how does the rest of the world know about it? #fedi #dev

@john You can use a relay to bootstrap a new server: https://relaylist.com/

@john@social.gozzys.com you won't end up in peoples' feeds unless they follow you.

To do that, you need to follow others to start getting content, and responding to them to contribute replies, in order to earn followers

Relays can help you discover new content or seed your content to other servers, but they don't end up in peoples' feeds.
