From your last message:

According to the postgresql documentation at 25.2.3 Preparing the Master for Standby Servers, Set up continuous
archivingon the primary to an archive directory accessible from the
standby.
I took this to mean the archive_command = "scp %p postgres@<IP of standby>:/<directory on standby>"
And yes, you can add a ";" at the end of this and specify a second server. That's what I'm doing. Oh, and you have to
setupssh keyrings so the scp will not prompt for a password.
Anyway, I got the impression that the primary should push and the standby's should not pull WAL segments from this part
ofthe docs. Although, I can see how you could just specify
the scp in the restore_command and do the pull. I just don't know the safety of doing that.
