The excellent @dansup (creator of @pixelfed) also maintains two very useful Fediverse tools:

➡️ https://fedidb.org - A dashboard for the Fediverse, with details of how server types and specific servers are growing.

➡️ https://fediverse.info/explore/people - An opt-in directory of people on the Fediverse sorted by keyword. You can add yourself to the directory by including special hashtags in your profile.

If you've used them before, take another look as they've both just been revamped.

@feditips @dansup @pixelfed

Thanks for posting this.
https://fediverse.info/explore/people is really useful to find people with similar interests. It makes it a lot easier to find interesting people on Mastodon.

I advise everybody to have a look and then to register themselves.

fediverse.info

The bespoke fediverse guide and people directory.

@feditips @dansup @pixelfed

I tried the fediverse.info/explore/people to search and to add my account.

The search just has an hourglass (searched on "woodworker") and when I tried to add my account, I get "server error".

Not a good sign.

@feditips So the "DB" in FediDB stands for Dashboard!? I thought it was DataBase.

@feditips @dansup @pixelfed Speaking of... Why isn't the Pixelfed app on the Playstore and Appstore already? Plenty to improve, of course, but the latest version is better than ever.
Images from pixelfed.social are not being rendered on other instances. Probably because you’re using Cloudflare. I’ve been told that Cloudflare is also known for causing issues with federation. Just thought I’d let you know.
