Fediverse Galaxy Info
cosocial-canada.github.io
A gathering of information about Fediverse organizations, especially those that run galaxies of more than one fediverse-enabled services, as well as supporting operational services for members.

cross-posted from: https://news.cosocial.ca/post/356

An example of gathering extended information about the servers / organizations that run Fediverse Galaxies.

People are welcome to add their own organizations, and it is available at the link provided as a set of browsable web pages, as well as a JSON feed for consuming programmatically.

RSS is also available for people who want to learn about new orgs as they get created.

The repo is here: https://github.com/CoSocial-Canada/FediverseGalaxies

This still needs the schema for orgs to be fleshed out, and then displayed on the post pages in a way that is visible.

Background

@liaizon@wake.st made a post about what they are calling Fediverse Galaxies – organizations that run more than one fedi-service https://social.wake.st/@liaizon/110566074350880589

Much like CoSocial is experimenting with a Lemmy instance as well as the main Mastodon one.

I pointed out that more information about the orgs involved could be interesting:

What is the organization type? How is it governed? How is it funded? How is it moderated? How can members get involved? — those are some of the important questions.

I suggested a GitHub based “API” site, which is what this is.

    Hey @wakest@lemmy.ml thanks for sharing. This was a quick weekend hack. Mostly need some feedback and discussion on good ways of presenting the info and and what info to gather.

      Glad you started this repo, I have been continuing to update my chart with instances I have found, but so far mostly just focusing on the intermix of fediverse software under the same control. I see you have been focusing just on cooperatively run galaxies, which I think is definitely the direction we need to take in the long run, but there are seemingly very few.
