Fediverse Report #116 - This week's #fediverse news:
- @fediforum will be June 5-7 with a new advisory board
- updates from @bonfire on their upcoming platform
- A new fediverse onboarding tool by @fedidb
- Fediverse music sharing platform Bandwagon talks about their plans for financial sustainability
What does the fediverse think of the new https://fedidb.com ?
While I do have big plans for FediDB, I have to focus on Pixelfed/Loops for the time being. That being said, we could use more hands on FediDB!
We just deployed a fix for missing servers due to a bug in our Nodeinfo crawler!
We're also working on a new self-submission form so you can easily add your server.
@GrahamDowns @dansup Yes, we will add range support to the server graphs in a future release!
We have identified a bug in our Nodeinfo crawler that caused servers running certain software to be incorrectly marked as "unavailable".
We are working on a fix, and will let you know once it's deployed.
I'm just getting started with FediDB Onboarding!
Now:
https://fedidb.com/welcome
Soon:
- Find accounts to follow based on interests
- Suggested Apps/Clients
- Starter Kits
- Fediverse Library (tips & tricks for software)
- Internationalization
Removing barriers to entry so we can better compete with more established players, while also building several platforms is the game.
You already know my name.

Big news for the fediverse! π
FediDB.com is cooking up a fresh onboarding feature.
You won't want to miss this.
Edit: Say hello to https://fedidb.com/welcome π₯³
Imagine being able to find Mastodon servers running the latest version, with open registration, older than 3 years and less than 5k users.
Thanks to FediDB you can π
https://fedidb.com/software/mastodon?version=latest®istration=open&mature=1&small=1
Spread the word, this works for other fedi software too. β¨
Did you know you download most graphs as an image by tapping "Save as Image" on the top right corner?
Here are some of our favourites!
FediDB.org now lives on https://fedidb.com and has a brand new look thanks to the hard work of @dansup
It looks amazing mate! β€οΈ
I doubt there are other social platforms out there with so much info publicly
We merged the first PR on our fedidb-nuxt repo π₯³
While the web frontend is open source, we are working to release the backend source so you can run the full FediDB platform yourself π
I shipped a fix to https://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. β¨
People seem to enjoy the new https://fedidb.com
I'll be adding more FediDB features later this summer.
Who does this?
Who spends this much time collecting and generating software version data to power a rich dashboard like this for the most popular fediverse software?
a nerd. me. im a huge stats nerd obvi, like 99% of fedidb.com users will never visit this, but for the 1%, this for you homies β€οΈ
We're aware of some missing software projects, and are working to sync our communityDB data.
You should send us a PR if your project isn't listed β¨
