Oh! I did set up a few relays, I didn’t realize they worked both ways! So posts I make on my instance go out to the relay and people subscribed to the relay will see my posts.
Yes, your public posts will be delivered to the other instances in the relay(s). From there, anyone watching the Federated feed will see the posts. Also if your posts include hashtags then anybody searching for or following the hashtag should see your posts.
Oh awesome, that’s a cool service that relays provide.
