Awesome Lemmy Servers lists an instance’s blocked and blocked by counts
for browse.toast i am planning to have something similar to that -- attempting to bring the light to smaller communities
discovery of new communities is a high priority rn
For this alpha I used a set list of servers but for the full release I plan to include as many servers as I can
Im currently rewriting the instance/community discovery system to make it more efficient
I personally really enjoy Matrix but it’s not really a “fediverse” thing but it is a federated end to end encrypted messaging platform
that would be great, i'll make sure you add yours as well 😀
It looks really good! When I saw it on my feed my first response was “oh shoot someone beat me” 😂
In my other comment I described how I find communities but with this alpha I have a set list of instances to use
Are your communities listed on your current instance (lemmy.ko4abp.com)? I can add that to the temporary list if you’d like
I’m probably going to put the source up shortly but how I decided to find communities is by scraping my instances “federated with” list from https://toast.ooo/api/v3/site
Then going through the /.well-known/nodeinfo -> /nodeinfo/v2.0.json (or whatever url the well-known gives) to check the software to make sure it’s a Lemmy instance
Then using the Lemmy rest API to paginate through the open communities for that instance
It’s the chicken & egg problem; people won’t use peertube because there’s no good content on there and content creators wont go there because the people aren’t there
