16,787 servers federate with atomicpoet.org. I’ve managed to do this without employing any relays.
According to FediDB, there are 22,968 servers on the #Fediverse. Which means atomicpoet.org federates with the majority of the Fediverse.
Why is this remarkable? This is a tiny server with two accounts. Only 1,596 posts have been sent from here. In every way, atomicpoet.org is a small Fediverse server.
Now certain people will have you believe that federating is hard, that there’s an “agenda” to enforce “behavioural norms”, and that overzealous admins are quick to Fediblock small servers for arbitrary reasons.
They are wrong, wrong, wrong.
Never have I had a problem sending and receiving messages with atomicpoet.org, and I can talk to everyone I want.
On the contrary, I have a funny feeling that atomicpoet.org is far less likely to be blocked than one of the big servers.

@atomicpoet our instance is two people with 1,141 posts federated with 10,642 other instances. No relays, no special efforts done to boost federation. We're not where your instance is, but still, further proof that it happens through no effort organic means.
