I don't actually want to do this right now, but I do want to know if it's really decentralized yet. Completely looks like it means each of:

  • A client ✅
  • A personal data server ✅
  • A relay ❓
  • Labelers ✅
  • Feed generators ✅

It looks like the relay might be the bottleneck. If I'm understanding the protocol correctly, a relay could consume less than the whole network so it doesn't have to be ridiculously expensive to operate, but I'm not finding examples of people doing it.

Thank you very much the full explanation, there's a lot of that I hadn't considered before. Intuitively it feels like it defeats a lot of the point for everything to be hosted over and over, but I can see how it'd be really hard for things to work as expected if there's only one copy of EVERY comment in a big thread and they're all in different places
