I'm sorry but I'm not sure howto follow servers using your software. I want to add other servers to the relay that I can follow it with my own instance but the documentation doesn't seem to describe howto do that. I may have missed it and I would love to be corrected.

Thanks you in advance

Your question is ...
How to follow Activity-Relay server from Mastodon, Misskey?
Is that right?

Sorry for I missed describe that how to do.

How to:

  1. Your relay server's endpoint is
    https://<your-server-domain>/inbox
  2. Show relay server config in Mastodon or Misskey and type endpoint address.
  3. They can follow relay server.

I'm trying to follow another instance other than mine. I have instance A, and I'm trying to follow instance B with my relay and get their posts to my instance A. I know that I use the /inbox or /actor endpoint to follow from my instance. I'm trying to follow an instance using my relay who has not tried to follow my relay. like this

Me -> relay -> You

I'm not sure how to follow you using the relay. Sorry if this doesn't make any sense.

This relay is designed as community, so relay is always receive follow and do follow-back.
Servers (ex. Mastodon and so on) has their privacy policy and data management policy, so to avoid violating it relay has no follow feature.
And I don't hear implement accept relay-like follow-request.
