IMPORTANT: This project is largely in low maintenance mode
If you wish to change that, please become a contributor. Active contributors will be awarded full ownership of the code repository and if wanted, ownership of the domain too. As original author and maintainer, I don't intend to work on this project much at all in the future. I would however like it to live and pass on to other more enthusiastic maintainers.
The-Federation.info
Tracking various projects using the ActivityPub, Matrix, Diaspora, OStatus and other protocols.
Site found at: https://the-federation.info
How to get your platform listed
The recommended metadata to implement is NodeInfo2.
Failing that, NodeInfo works too.
Mastodon and Matrix instances are scraped with a dedicated scraper since they don't (yet) provide generic metadata.
OK, I've done that, what now?
Register your node here, for example https://the-federation.info/register/mynode.tld
. If it is a success, you're good! If your platform is new, or you want to update an existing platform information, raise an issue providing the following:
- URL to code
- Description
- Display name
- Code license
- Icon
- URL to install guide
- Tagline
- URL to official website
If it's closed source, leave out link to code and install guide. Icon can be any size, currently only using 16px. Possibly will have a larger image at some point on the platform page. Tagline is a kind of short one sentence marketing line, see other platforms.
