       I've setup quite a few fediverse platforms. The instances are small, usually me and a few other fediverse devs that use them for testing.It's quiet. Very quiet. I've tried pulling in data from relays. But that's like opening floodgates to who knows what type of content.FediBuzz was nice because I could follow specific hashtags ONLY. That cut down on the noise. But that is dependent on posts using those tags.Is there a better way to curate content? I think so.#Fediverse #ActivityPub

       We need a way of discovering federated groups like NodeBB, Channels.org, Lemmy & PieFed communties. The quality of content being pumped into your instance would be much better, and not dependent on every post containing a hashtag.The problem is discovery. I know NodeBB forums exist, and I follow a few Channels.org accounts. I have a PieFed account and I can jump over there and look through all the communities, then copy them over to my Mastodon account.

       @box464 make sure to hit the dropdown in the top left to switch between Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin. There have been some big communities moving to PieFed lately, like @movies and @television

       What would be nice is a platform search that can be filtered by Account type of "Group". Or a "bubble" feed that contains curated groups from the instance admins. I don't think that exists on Mastodon, and I haven't explicitly seen it on other platforms either.Is this the type of thing that Mastodon's FediDiscovery project could begin to solve?https://www.fediscovery.org/

       @box464 What is a "Group" in ActivityPub or the Mastodon client API?
