@Maniactive Sorry. I think eventually, someone will sort out what links are for what community. I've been doing some fishing myself, using my regular old email.

@Maniactive Is that not the page that came through? I had one open this morning with the technical information, but the "thefishcrow" link I see embedded in my post was for a content list.
@Maniactive This isn't a website or an app. This is open source software that allows for massive customization. Yeah, there's not going to be a centralized database pointing you where you want to go. This is democratizing social media in the way it was meant to be.
@Maniactive That's just something someone threw together. What you're talking about is probably coming, depending on how things shake out, but it's going to be community dependent. There's no central governing board, and if it ever comes to that it'll be because the phenomenon got big enough that it was seized by boring people who think they need to control it for its own good.
@Maniactive I've seen that one. I was talking about this:

@Maniactive Who do you think every who launches an Instance is going to report their intended content (much less what really pops up) to, and how is anyone going to read it? Some kind of oversight body? Independent information someone dedicates? What you're asking for is going to have to happen organically with the caveat that the software is such that most people who use it might not want to be part of the federated network.
@ZedFable @Maniactive Thanks for the add, but ain't my work. Based on experience, I think something like this will pop up in the future, but will require someone willing to curate it.
@Frankenbeans @Maniactive Favoriting this for later- thanks for putting this together!
