Can anyone who are using Mastodon instead of for an example GoToSocial or Plemora, confirm if the relay feature do not require the owner of an instance to accept or deny the relay subscription?
I am using GoToSocial and their relay subscription feature requires a owner of another instance to accept or deny my relay subscription request. Source: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/stable/admin/relay_subscriptions/
I don't want to wait "forever" until I can get toots from the instances I want to subscribe to.

@airikr@mst-gts.airikr.me @PurpleJillybeans@kind.social configuring relays is only done by the Masto owner role (which the main admin would have). the Relay settings page can't even be granted to other users/roles (though some other admin settings can be made available) Does GTS allow any user to setup relays or does it require admin too? Relays can generate (and receive) a LOT of traffic so I can't imagine non-admins being given this ability.
