I wrote a fediverse onboarding tool for newcomers, powered by the community curated FediDB database ✨

Please boost this, more people need to see this!

@dansup Heyyy, this looks like what I had in mind when I threw together the crappy prototype linked in my profile! Thank you for doing it in a form people might actually use :)

Edit: aaand it was broken too. Fucked up my fpm config apparently :)

@dansup I love it, thanks a lot for providing this Fediverse “organized directory”! So many servers can be easily discovered this way.

@dansup@mastodon.socialgreat great idea - some feedback if that would be helpful:
- >100k only gives 3 servers. Maybe consider reducing that somewhat.
- maybe a major topic/industry filter so you can share a server with fellow gamers/dentists/hackers etc. (Prob just based on a search of the servers' descriptions)

@dansup looks great. But if I may nitpick, most people unused to federation may think they got one or the other. A little text explaining that this is the instance for X or Y, but you can still interact with the rest?

It's been the main cause of confusion for people I've talked to about the fediverse, quite a few thought it's choice of closed garden and not something with paths to everyone.

But thanks for this, I'm going to be linking to it often.
