@daj @joel @gotosocial Thanks for creating TagPush, David! I appreciate the work you're putting into solving the small instance discovery problem.
You're absolutely right about FediBuzz being erratic - I've noticed that too. Some days are content-heavy, others pretty quiet.
I actually tried both services and found different strengths:
TagPush: More reliable/consistent, but limited tag selection (totally understandable for a one-person project!)
FediBuzz: Broader tag coverage (I need things like #proxmox, #docker, #fediadmin and also #nrw and other hashtags for local content), but yeah, the reliability can be hit-or-miss.
For my use case I ended up sticking with FediBuzz mainly because I need some specific tech/local tags that aren't available on TagPush yet. But I really like TagPush's consistent delivery approach - that "fire-hose" problem you mention with relays is real!
Question: Are you planning to expand the tag list, or keeping it intentionally curated to maintain quality? I'd love to see tags like #docker, #proxmox, #homelab if that fits your vision!
Really appreciate both services existing - competition/alternatives are always good for the ecosystem!
