So Mastodon has an "instance/peers" endpoint that lists "domains that this instance is aware of".

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/instance/#peers

Example: https://mastodon.social/api/v1/instance/peers

I'm playing around with this a bit, and looking at one instance that knows about mine, but I can't find my own posts or my account on it.

Is this expected behavior?

Maybe peers are all known instances an instance at any point interacted with, even if it (no longer) has any content from it?

Okay, to add more details, the first instance was a non-Mastodon server. I just tested a Mastodon server where I did come up in search, so the results are a bit inconsistent so far. Maybe has more to do with privacy settings, or difference in software behavior.

I don't really want to link to random instances I know nothing about, so if anyone's interested, feel free to grab a CSV from http://demo.fedilist.com/instance.
