@Johan Paul I check nearly 15000 Mastodon servers every 2h on domain.tld/api/v1/instance. And next about 5000 servers of another soft(Hubzilla, Friendica, Misskey, Peertube, Diaspora*,...).

@martin That's already quite a database you have. Impressive! And it probably will grow with a rapid pace. Nice work with the automation👍
