       @ayushsharma22 Neat, the search functionality seems broader than https://instances.social, though I think it could benefit from having some of the same tags that has.Oh, ah, that's the data source. So population questions should go there.Heh, pawoo is bigger than mastodon.social.

       @Zergling_man I'm planning to add those tags as search options, and maybe filtering by users as well. The mastodon.social list is not complete tho, but that's the only available data source. I couldn't find mastodon.technology on that list :(

       @ayushsharma22 Maybe worth becoming your own data source. Probe an instance, find out what it federates with (and what it blocks, kek), repeat.At which point maybe worth having some sort of opt-out that just drops a note to admins when an instance is first discovered.Though it's hard to write one of those without sounding like an ass.I'm not sure how to find out what instances an instance federates with.

       @Zergling_man @ayushsharma22 the least effort solution i can come up with without a programming background is to scrape the public timeline (if available) for unique domains present in the stream. it is not a good solution, but it might be a start :akkoConfused:

       @gaige @ayushsharma22 Yeah that's the hard way. I assume there is an easier way.

       @ayushsharma22 look at a good number of different context instances from other software too I suppose if you want a more generic view
