Use relays instead of Streaming API about fedionfire HOT 6 CLOSED

#FediBuzz not only consumes Mastodon's streaming API but also serves it: https://fedi.buzz/api/v1/streaming/public

from fedionfire.

@ThisIsMissEm Can you give me a hint on where to start with this? Streaming API is now a bit familiar to me, but I can't seem to find documentation about Relay API anywhere.

I'm now going to ask a very newbie question, since I don't know enough about this. How to fetch data from relays via EventSource or something similar? I need some head start.

So a "relay" is just any automated service instance; essentially they are added by an admin, and then receive content via activitypub. This has a bit more information: https://joinfediverse.wiki/index.php?title=Fediverse_relays&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop

You could also talk to @astro who's behind FediBuzz.

Oh I see! Thanks. Definitely helpful. I mistakenly thought there is a thing called Relay, but now I get it. Will probably get more energy first and then get more focused on this… Thanks again. 🫶

Closing this in favor of #4.
