AtegonLemmy & Pangora Instance Selector
Lemmy and Pangora Instance Selector - programming.dev
https://pangora.social/join [https://pangora.social/join] Hey everyone! I recently finished up an instance selector similar to join-lemmy. There are a couple issues with join-lemmy with it sending the majority of people to the general purpose instances instead of growing the niche instances, as well as giving people way too many options at once which can turn into choice paralysis. The selector will be the default when people visit the pangora site and people can also use it to select lemmy instances instead of using join-lemmy. ## How it works: - Users are presented with 10 main categories (technology, sports, art, etc.). They can choose one which will be the category of content they primarily look at - If a category has no subcategories they will then be sent to a random instance for that category (e.g. if they choose sports they get sent to fanaticus) - Else if a category has subcategories they are then shown those to pick from (e.g. technology when selected will show programming, radio, etc.) (and when selected repeat previous step) I added almost every active instance to the site so feel free to use it to check out some other instances for various topics Hope you enjoy :) site: https://pangora.social/join [https://pangora.social/join] source code: https://github.com/PangoraWeb/pangora.social [https://github.com/PangoraWeb/pangora.social]
