Hokay, I've launched a webapp at https://discoverfedi.app
What's it do?
- Let's you browse the federated timeline of a selected instance (use the change instance button to switch to something else, with mastodon.social being the default)
- Can switch to image-only view for a more "instagram" kind of feels
- Search the entire federated network (uses the fedi observer api, is a bit wonky and am still working out the kinks)
- Search hashtags on the instance you're currently viewing
- Save the instance you're viewing to "favorites" (stored as a cookie)
- Show/hide NSFW content
- Uses GardenFence to block harmful instances from being accessed in the search and display (although blocked content may show up in an instance's federated timeline, this is one of those dents in the development that need un-dented)
- Light and dark theme changed manually, or adjusted to system settings
- Requires no logon credentials, no registration, since many many many instances are publicly visible
- Works nice on a phone
Issues:
- Some instances may return an error
- Some instances may not display properly, especially across different software
- Search is a bit funky
Why?
People outside of the fediverse always complaining about how difficult it is to see what the heck the fediverse is, or choose servers. Well, the problem? There's well over 20,000+ servers, and this may or may not fix the issue of "finding things" lol
This could be an iOS/Android app, but I don't feel like paying Apple or Google money for dev accounts

#discoverfedi #fediverse #development@cmdr_nova oh that's interesting. I used to use mastovue for that but with glitch.me shutting down I was looking for something else.

#discoverfedi #fediverse #development@cmdr_nova great tool, but I don't see sociale.network there. It's because our server settings or are you filtering small instances?

@gubi I'm still working out some issues with the search function, but if you type sociale.network into the "change instance" dialogue, it should show you the timeline easy peasy

@cmdr_nova the procedure you suggested is working, but the "find instance" search returns empty results for sociale.network...

@gubi yeah, that's something i need to work on, because the search function is only looking through the instances that are currently loaded rather than the 20,000+ directory (it was very slow with it searching through this and I haven't figured out a workaround yet)

@cmdr_nova you could fetch daily o weekly a list of known public instances and use for search your local list instead of browsing the entire fediverse... or some other hattrick thay you could surely figure out. Good luck and keep up the good work!

I just arrived in Bologna, Italy. I skipped my traditional ยซ espresso at the airport ยป as Iโm waiting to savor a real one in the city.
Hope youโre having a lovely day thus far.
Now I need to practice speaking about the Fediverse in Italian (something I never do) ๐

@teddythepreacher @_elena @niccolove @morloi Musk to me is like an old boss out of a Donald E. Westlake Parker novel. He's bad for everyone's business directly and indirectly. As he runs a long con-artist game. Along with feeling an unnecessary goal to inflate his and Trump's ego as well.

@Pepijn I don't think I've ever sat on a cow or seen anybody sitting on a cow, even if I've spent a big part of my childhood summers at an alp (pasture)
this happened between Italy and the Italian speaking part of Switzerland
(I've sat on at least a donkey, and some horses)
-
@Pepijn never a cow. Horses a few times. I grew up in a rural area, cows literally at the end of my block. But, riding them wasn't a thing anyone ever thought to do, AFAIK.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague it came up that they have never sat on a cow. Like, not even once in their childhood.
Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never sat on a cow.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a cow.
๐ ๐ ๐ฎ
Have you sat on a cow?
Please boost for scientific accuracy.
