@noellabo Ouch. Looking into the nodeinfo protocol a bit, I don't think it's intended for this usage (yet), especially not after software.name was made free text.

See discussions:https://github.com/jhass/nodeinfo/issues/15https://github.com/jhass/nodeinfo/pull/17

Mastalab might have to find a different way to detect supported client APIs, and allow the user to manually override it.

But it is what it is, and a workaround is needed until it can be dealt with in a cleaner way.

Wow, I love how fast things come together on the Fediverse! Thank you all for moving on this.

@dansup @sexybiggetje

Is there a site like https://joinmastodon.org, which can filter instances based on what server software and/or web interface they run?

#LazyWeb #Mastodon #Pleroma #Search #Fediverse

@sexybiggetjeThanks, that's pretty close!

Too bad it lumps glitch-soc and Hometown instances in with Standard Mastodon.

*looks at apis... maybe I could...*

@sexybiggetje Welp, the only endpoint the API currently offers returns a list of all active instance's domain names only, no metadata at all. :/

@sexybiggetje Well, still the closest thing to what I'm looking for so far. If only I could get at that juicy JSON they're teasing with... but that's embedded in the HTML content.

Guess I'll just have to wait.

@dansupHometown instances use a dual version string (hometown version)+(mastodon version), but I don't know if that is expressed in nodeinfo. I'll dig when I have some time.

No "secret" endpoints you're hiding from me? ;)
