Can you give me examples of websites where a directory of members is an integral/active part of it?

@Gargron well it's called "search" i guess. they don't expose all 2.2b profiles at once, though

@Gargron It's more the kind of 'directory' when you're logged in and everywhere you look you'll see 'suggested' members. There's something like a "explore" kinda thing I guess

@Gargron well it technically is, in that it lists profilesreally i think the question should be narrowed in scope to be more useful. do you mean something more like the masto profile directory? what particular kind of inspiration are you trying to draw? i can name things from "just a list of names" (e.g. tilde.town) all the way to "centralized directory of 2 billion people" (facebook), and i presume that's not very helpful.

@Gargron Elfwood had one which people used to find artists, it put people into larger galleries by when they signed up, and within that gallery it was alphabetically organised. I think it worked because it was fixed, and you had 'neighbours' the same way you have a 'neighbour' on a phone number. Also was an incentive to sign up faster so you could be in a lower gallery number.Not sure if this is useful info, but that's what I liked about it.

I know that the first step to making Mastodon's profile directory more useful is making it part of the web UI rather than a separate page, and showing remote profiles as well as local ones.However, the lack of prior art leaves me in the dark regarding everything else.

@Gargron Friendica has the Site Directory and the Global Directory. Inside your account settings you configure interests etc and your opt-in consent for each individually. The Site Directory is part of an instance, the Global Directory is separate, but decentralised. This is sort of the main one though: https://dir.friendica.social/I believe the Friendica people were thinking about whether it would be possible to allow non Friendica profiles, provided consent could be guaranteed.

@Gargron I think it is vital not to look at past efforts but new solutions. But OK, if so I would point to the phone catalogue. Something we used to have 30 years ago. Everybody with a phone was in it. This way we could find each other. What is the use of having a phone if you cannot call the ones you want? If you can crack this ... good luck!

@Gargron https://lobste.rs/u is a tree view of all users. It's an invite only forum, so you can see:* Who invited (and therefore knows/is responsible for) whom.* New members. They have their own section and are highlighted in green.* Overall points and mod/admin status of peopleSimilarly the hats page (https://lobste.rs/hats) lists users who can speak for a particular project.

* Chat apps like Slack often have filterable user lists.* Enterprise collab tools like Atlassian's Confluence have user directories.* Enterprise email tools and org charts show both list and hierarchy structure so you can find people based on who they report to. Outlook has put alot of effort into their UI there.* Anywhere where rankings are important. Top seeders on torrent sites, high score boards in games, etc.

@gargron I guess directories of that many people are often less useful than search, recommendation and "friends of friends". Remember the good old phone book? The online versions do search only. There used to be CD-ROM-edeitions where you had an Excel-like list, that could be filtered, but probably also because of people abusing well accessible directories, I have not seen them in a long time.
