I’m working on a blog post about Mastodon’s weaknesses and what is being done to fix them. During my research I was delighted by how much interesting work is happening in the Fediverse space—e.g.:

* Live Fediverse analytics: https://fedidb.org
* Fediverse info and directory (crawled automatically): https://fediverse.info
* List of Fediverse platforms: https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/
* Interviews with people who work on the Fediverse (and other decentralized networks): https://dot-social.simplecast.com/
