 We made https://fediverse.info for you, the #fediverse. This represents more than just Pixelfed, and we recognize how important it is to remain unbiased and not use this to further our own project. Our long term goal for https://fediverse.info is to turn it over to a reputable, non-profit organization if possible! Your feedback is invaluable and has helped shape the project thus far, let us know what you think about this! 32 comments
 @jason123santa @pixelfed fediverse.party has a lot more data, and is generally more useful. This is meant to compliment resources like fediverse.party with features like the People Directory @dansup @pixelfed @jason123santafediverse.party has a lot more dataIn this regard, isn't there a way to just take the data from there? In other words, aren't there public databases of fediverse apps and clients that can just be shared between such sites? Like database version of the fediverse-related delightful lists.
cc @humanetech @tommi @jason123santa @pixelfed While I understand where you are coming from, it's sort of ironic that you want a centralized resource for a decentralized network. The fact that there is so many different fediverse websites is important and a good thing, can you imagine if there was only one?  @tommi Most things here are run by volunteers. It does make sense to centralize some general information about it all. But, unlike Wikipedia, we can't realistically guarantee that any site will always be stable for years to come. We don't have the resources needed to provide such guarantees. For example, fediverse.space was lucky to be revived by a new maintainer, but fediverse.network went down forever. By duplicating information the community makes sure everything won't disappear at once. @lightone I understand, but my argument is to unite in one common great forkable dataset all of the info and the codebase, then of course the website could be moved, change ownership and maintainer. My point is: if I pose myself the question “I need all of the most up to date and comprehensive data and information, where do I go?” I do not have a unique answer… I should have, though. Maybe @humanetech has the answer.  @pixelfed Oh what a great idea. Is there anyone I could contact to help with the copy on that site? @pixelfed I'd be happy to help. Please keep me on your list, or rolodex, or sticky note on the side of your display.   Yes it is. This video is under CC-BY-SA licence so you can download it and make all the changes you want. @Framasoft @pixelfed @mauricerenck That's great. Can we access the source files, if that makes it easier to edit or develop the video?
@Framasoft @pixelfed cool :) but for translating it, a Version without voiceover would be needed @pixelfed Fediverse.info is a great idea. I was willing to share around me and contribute to projects of the like.
As a first contribution, have you considered including Friendica? It's one of the major softwares/networks and I find it is missing. @pixelfed The people directory is great to find people with similar interests. Thanks for that! I just realized, that i had a typo in one of my hashtags. Do listings get updated on a regular basis or is the typo in the directory forever now? @pixelfed Sorry, ignore my question regarding updates to the directory, it's right there in the FAQ: your profile gets re-crawled after 7 days (i assume every 7 days, as interests can change over time). @pixelfed Thank you! Have learned of a few new tools today because of it, and am seriously considering starting my own instance specifically to bring them all into one location for me. Very much appreciated! @pixelfed I disagree with your usage of a "nsfw" hashtag. This hashtag is pretty much always irrelevant. Something being "NSFW" is totally subjective to the viewer and its culture. Is the thing tagged NSFW really unsafe sex-workers? I think not. We should encourage usage of objective, culture-neutral, hashtags, like "nudity", "sexual organ depiction", "pornography", "woodworking without gloves", "bike-delivery without helmet" (those are NSFW...), "violence", "slur", etc. @pixelfed I LOVE this. It's a tool that is necessary in order to properly scale-down instances and still welcome new users. So.... I sorta added ~40 hashtags, and only ~20 are showing up in fediverse.info. Is there a limit? How does the app choose which tags?  @pixelfed @pixelfed hi there. I tried to add myself to the directory but foiled by “Problem reaching acccount server“ if I use https://mastodon.green/@del and “Invalid response from remote instance” if I use @del Any ideas?

 @pixelfed Would it make sense for your table to have a category for non-micro blogging (ie, "regular blogging"?) Hometown supports that (I think?) and Pleroma (I think??). Also, you rate peertube and mastodon as both being able to host videos, but doesn't mastodon have notably different size limits?  @mcc @pixelfed yeah Pleroma has both rich text and very easy config options for longer posts (I have my instance set to 5000 chars, could go higher but I don't want to encourage myself to use my normal homepage blog even less!) so definitely has flexibility into normal blogging, depending perhaps a bit on what parts of blogging one considers key.
 @dansup kudos for launching this project! The information is well-laid-out and easy to find. Love the directory idea too! Would love to be able to add myself with a status hashtag, rather than needing to keep it in my bio. |

@pixelfed What is the main difference between this and fediverse.party?
