Introducing Threadirator - A Threadiverse Community Federator

2 months ago by π™ˆπ™žπ™– to c/fediverse

This is a service to help communities propagate to other instances and help with discovery of communities. So far tested and working with PieFed & Lemmy Instances - I suspect it should work with Mbin, but need to test it (Any Mbin Instance volunteers?)

Anyone is free to add their community to the list, but only admins can add their instance to receive communities.

This tool is designed to be simple to use, not requiring fiddling with your instances DNS unlike Lemmy-Federate. Verification for authority to register your instance is done via a message that checks to see if the person confirming is an admin account. It also back-propagates, so on joining your instance will subscribe to all previously added rather than only new ones going forward.

This is my first time launching a service like this, and as such it may not work flawlessly - please share any feedback or suggestions.

Seems to! At least from the adding communities side, I've added moderation@activitypub.space and that's worked.

I haven't used NodeBB as a user, I assume you cannot subscribe to other instances communities (or do you call them boards?) and only get the choice of what's on your host?

Oh you definitely can!!, I'm able to browse and subscribe to Piefed and Lemmy communities as though they were categories 😁

Oh cool! Is there an API? I was thinking of setting up a NodeBB for another project, so I can work on adding full NodeBB support.
