@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.

IMHO I believe it would be so much better and actually useful if all features of websites like fediverse.info and fediverse.party were joined together in one unique website. Since AFAIK all of those websites are open source, anyone could contribute and add to the most celebrated website the feature they would be building a whole new website for, without needing to actually create it from scratch. This would also avoid having different endpoints to update with the features, the development status, etc. of #ActivityPub #platforms.

@dansup don’t you think that #Fediverse related website are becoming too many and confusing instead of useful for newcomers?

@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.
