I built a fediverse onboarding tool, powered by FediDB and CommunityDB.
It's open source, and I'd love more help!

@dansup I’m glad you’re asking for more help. I will see what I can do
@dansup Hi Dan, great work as always!
One small issue, when select Goodreads, it recommends fed.brid.gy, while I would expect at least Bookwyrm and NeoDB?
@dansup I think languages used is an important criterion, at least for instances that are about writing. There are lots of people who would prefer to use a primarily French instance than an English one, for example.
@mpjgregoire yeah thats a great point, would you mind creating an issue to track this?
@dansup Sure, but it will have wait a day or so.
Does FediDB collect any data about which languages are used on a given instance? Is such data exposed somehow?
@dansup The choices are multiselect, but the little circles look like radio buttons. Maybe change them to squares so it's more obvious that you can check multiple.
@dansup@mastodon.social When the user clicks on "Microblogging" they will always get just Mastodon and not Pleroma and Misskey, for example. I feel like these should be selected as well.
Also I see you have hardcoded a small list of specific servers to receive a special "Official Server" badge:
['mastodon.social', 'mastodon.online', 'pixelfed.social', 'pixelfed.art']
I believe good onboarding tool should move away from these so called "official servers", I recommend removing this badge, or giving this badge a red color instead of a green one, because we want to avoid centralization here.
