Instance proxy account

[devporto]

What is this used for?

A proxy account acts as a remote follower for users on other instances. Example: When a remote user is added to a list, their posts would not be delivered to the instance if nobody follows them. The proxy account would follow them so the posts are delivered.

How do we activate? Can we use existing instance account or do we need to create a new account?

We recommend that you add a new dedicated account and specify it.

@syuilo for our Dolphin demo site, we added user.

Is there a way to test to know it's working?
