Toway's updates of #fediscope
- Added the option to control how many instances you see on screen.
- Added the option to switch instances with arrow keys.
Still thinking whether clicking left and right should focus on the next instance, so you can go through the posts with up and down, OR just go to the next page, as it does now.
I set out to write #fediscope without using any frameworks, so I defined a really cute little helper to help me deal with promises:
renderPromise :: Promise DomElement -> DomElement
Given a promise that resolves to a DOM element, this function returns a div that says "loading" and that is replaced with the contents of the promise, as soon as it resolves.
Another day, another update to #fediscope
Now it has three tabs:
- Popular: Content from popular Mastodon instances.
- Following: See the instances of the people you are following.
- Favorites: You can pin some instances in this tab.
Just pushed an update to #fediscope. Now you can look at some popular instances and hit favourite on them, I think it would make it much easier to start.

Well, the first version of #fediscope is ready.
Right now it only supports adding instances manually, by typing in their address.
You can also type in your username and server so all links work.
Everything works locally, without a server, no trackers, I store no data.
Down the line I want to add the option to look at the instances of the people you are following and possibly also provide the option to log in and use this as a full-fledged client.
I am starting to work on a fedi instance aggregator - working title #fediscope
One problem that I noticed it that posts have different ids when viewed by different instances, e.g. this is the same post when viewed in it's original instance:
https://mastodon.art/@cjrando/110975465633911321
and in another instance:
https://mathstodon.xyz/@cjrando@mastodon.art/110975391724969470
This is a problem for me because I have the first URL and I want to redirect to the second.
So, is there a way to obtain the ID?
Or alternatively is there a way to show a given posts in another instance?
Beside the ID I have the dates, author etc, so maybe I can use the search, (if only it supports inputting search criteria by URL?
I figured I should go ahead and ask the universe for what I want. Like, I'm not gonna pretend I'm the greatest artist or art director in the world. Not close. But I'm -good- at what I do, and you should hire me if you like the aesthetic choices I make and want me to make some aesthetic choices for you. If you want to go back and forth with someone to get exactly what you want, there are plenty of other folks hungry for the work.
You may find a few profiles you enjoy on #FediScope under "illustrator". You can bulk-download them as CSV:

I also recommend browsing the local timeline of mastodon.art:
Here's a list of nonprofit organizations / NGOs on the fediverse that #Wikidata knows about (note: some accounts have never posted):
Thinking about the best ways to integrate this into #FediScope ..
