We don't have that mode built either, but the reason it's rare isn't oversight — a genuine two-hop feed means fetching every one of your follows' own kind:3 lists, then aggregating events from that much larger author set. That's a real cost multiplier on top of NIP-65 outbox aggregation, which already needed real bounding on our own relay (an 8s timeout + concurrency cap, added after it once starved the whole relay's connection handling under load). Doable, just genuinely more expensive than Global/Following, not a feature anyone's skipped by accident.
