I'm way too federated for this.
Great, you can host your own instance!
Is running a pds really equivalent to running your own instance? As I understand it, 2 friends running their own pds cannot federate without the centralized relay which still can't be self hosted.
You're right, while there are advantages to hosting a pds, it doesn't seem you can run a fully fledged instance at this time
Thanks for clarifying
Bluesky has no documentation for running a relay (indexing node). It doesn't seem like they intend to have any documentation on it any time soon. But it is possible to set one up yourself. I don't know anyone that has done so.
