"Fediverse statistics site #FediDB, operated by PixelFed and Loops creator Daniel Supernault, now has an #onboarding tool to help people #getstarted with #thefediverse. It asks the user a few simple questions: first to select the type of content they are interested in, such as microblogging, video or forums. Based on that choice, it recommends various platforms. Based on the platform choice it asks for a few simple filters, such as region and community size, before presenting the user with a list of servers to choose from for registration."

I didn't expect to spend my Saturday evening refactoring FediDB crawlers, but now they are way more efficient and accurate.

If your server was previously listed, but recently dropped off, it should be back.

I shipped a fix to fedidb.com addressing missing servers, the culprit was our updated crawler robots.txt logic.

Next up: software version tracker, feature matrix, FEP Library, People Directory, Dev Tools, and Starter Kits.

The fedi deserves great tools. We deliver. ✨

FYI: We will keep the api.fedidb.org endpoints active for at least 1 year while we transition to api.fedidb.com

We will share more details about this transition in the coming weeks, while we work on releasing the updated backend/crawler source code.

It's wild what you can do with 420M+ data points.

The new FediDB takes advantage of all this data, going back to 2020.

About time.

Look at this before and after, it's so cool, I'm hella proud of this redesign.

I know that generating graphs of version adoption trends isn't something that interests most people.

And I know I need to get back to Pixelfed dev, but at the same time I realize how important FediDB is.

Thanks for understanding, the new FediDB is shipping later this week ❤️

Before vs After software versions.

We can't wait to ship this massive update to our software version tracking.*

* - Limited to Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Misskey, and Peertube. More projects will be supported after launch.

Working on the final components of the new fediDB before I launch the new site, expect a huge announcement soon.

The new FediDB is beyond expectations, just wait and see ✨
