I think it is a useful service, because it helps small instances discover content. However, this idea is not new and another service of that kind, FediBuzz, has been operating for a long time.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
If you run a small micro-blog instance, you follow some people and maybe some communities. Tagged posts come only through these follows, so you only see a tiny portion of all tagged posts.
A hashtag relay tries to aggregate tagged posts from the whole network. By following a hashtag on such relay you can see more posts on the topic that interests you.
