#Nodeinfo has proven invaluable to me and also many of the public Fediverse databases, for example, with things like:

* The particular MRF settings implemented for a particular instance
* Fingerprinting exactly which platform and version is being examined
* How many local users have accounts on the instance
* Average number of posts in various different perspectives - total, per user, this period, Etc.
* Whether or not the instance is operated by Good, sharing Fedizens or people that choose not to disclose.

A #FEP for this can go a long way toward stabilizing this defacto standard as dejure.

#Fedilab's commitment to support the most popular #Fediverse platforms such as #Pleroma, #Soapbox, #Akkoma, #Misskey, #Firefish, #Mitra, #Pixelfed, #Solo, #Peertube, and other, unnofficially supported platforms like #Takahe is commendable, and Nodeinfo is a great way to enter into the foray of deterministically providing the users with that support.

It also encourages instance operators to make this information public - as it should be in almost all cases.
