Sort of related, but does anyone know if Mastadon servers require others in the server to find offer instances before you see feeds from them in the All tab, like with Lemmy?
I’m thinking of getting into Mastadon and that would be a big reason to pick a bigger instance than a smaller one.
It does work that way, but Mastodon and some other microblogging software like Firefish (fka Calckey), Pleroma, etc. can also use relays to populate their federated timelines.

It works similarly in that regard.
