node.info support #144

Closed sunjam closed 4 years ago

sunjam commented 5 years ago

NodeInfo is an effort to create a standardized way of exposing metadata about a server running one of the distributed social networks. The two key goals are being able to get better insights into the user base of distributed social networking and the ability to build tools that allow users to choose the best fitting software and server for their needs.

See this example implementation for Wordpress. This is used by Diaspora, Funkwhale, Friendica, Hubzilla, Pleroma and many other federated services, allowing them to be optionally indexed by sites like https://the-federation.info or fediverse.network

This might be useful for Issue #131 also it will probably be very helpful to index all instances after federation.

This stuff is on the backburner for me at least until I get some more federation work done, but I'm happy to accept PRs for it.

Hi, not sure if fixed by dev.lemmy.ml NodeInfo is broken at least: https://dev.lemmy.ml/.well-known/nodeinfo

The href goes to "my_domain".

Ah thanks, this is fixed now.
