At Fediforum today, Renaud and I presented on the new Fediverse Discovery Providers project, initiated by Mastodon gGmbH via a grant from NGI Search.
The slide deck below mostly presents the information from the website in an alternate format – but, hopefully the brief talk and then the broader discussion with the group that came to the session will have been a useful way to learn more about this new service, and the associated concept of “Fediverse Auxiliary Service Providers” (Discovery Providers being an instance of one of these) to bring additional features to Fediverse instances that opt-in to use them.
I used iA Presenter to create the deck, and there is a bit more information in the speaker notes in the source (Markdown) file, but in broad terms you’ll find that it all matches up with the current landing page for the project.
In the coming weeks, the initial specifications will be made available in a GitHub repository that will be the primary resource for general discussions on the project.
We’d like to thank the folks at Fediforum for the excellent discussion and insightful questions – these were exactly the kinds of conversations we wanted to start with the community.

@NGIZero enabled us to start work on Librecast. We wouldn't have been able to keep working on Librecast without being funded by @EC_NGI
The projects we work with wouldn't have been able to do what they do without NGI Funding.
We've signed the Open Letter posted by @ps
We encourage our fellow projects in #NGIZero, #NGIAssure, #NGISearch and #NGIPointer to do the same.
