There's some things about Surf that I don't get. How does it function as a search for the Fediverse? Is it also an ActivityPub server in its own right? is it subscribed to a fediverse relay? These are details I do not have.
@surf@flipboard.social any comments?

@OliviaVespera@spacey.space @mike@flipboard.social @welshpixie@mastodon.art @surf@flipboard.social For fediverse discovery and search, Surf federates with flipboard.social, which in turn federates with flipboard.com (we have our own activity pub implementation there) — so fediverse content reaches us through standard ActivityPub federation. We do run a "headless" surf.social Mastodon instance to allow surf users to interact with the fediverse.
