my #realy relay has a type of WoT that is what i call "friends and guests" where it allows access to the follows of a set of designated owners and gives access to the follows of those follows on my relay, i follow about 100 and my relay has whitelisted about 11000 i did at one point have a spider on it that was actively searching for all my follows' follow lists to build that list, i need to restore that or build a separate tool for this purpose that spiders the network to get the latest versions of your follows, then you can run a realy also that gives everyone you follow and everyone they follow read access this was also why i was a bit mad when i found that #jumble was encrypting the mute list (was reasons for it but no option to not use it that way) as the mute list excludes users that get included by that very large list if i had 1000 follows i'd guess i'd have more like 200k users whitelisted, if the proportions are consistent
hmmm i just realised that i could be saving a lot of processing and time by changing that list generation into a bloom filter with a really low false positive rate (under 100x the number that is there, so, 0.000001 would do the trick) making a mental note for later
