Gathering extended info about fediverse organizations aka Fediverse Galaxies
cross-posted from: https://news.cosocial.ca/post/356
An example of gathering extended information about the servers / organizations that run Fediverse Galaxies.
People are welcome to add their own organizations, and it is available at the link provided as a set of browsable web pages, as well as a JSON feed for consuming programmatically.
RSS is also available for people who want to learn about new orgs as they get created.
The repo is here: https://github.com/CoSocial-Canada/FediverseGalaxies
This still needs the schema for orgs to be fleshed out, and then displayed on the post pages in a way that is visible.
Background
@liaizon made a post about what they are calling Fediverse Galaxies -- organizations that run more than one fedi-service https://social.wake.st/@liaizon/110566074350880589
Much like CoSocial is experimenting with a Lemmy instance as well as the main Mastodon one.
I pointed out that more information about the orgs involved could be interesting:
What is the organization type? How is it governed? How is it funded? How is it moderated? How can members get involved? — those are some of the important questions.
I suggested a GitHub based "API" site, which is what this is.
