Topic/Location Focused Instances

This magazine is for cataloging non-general purpose threadiverse (lemmy/kbin) servers. These often focus on a particular geographic location, subject matter, or audience, or have a specific aesthetic. - The big list

founded 1 year ago
 

I wrote a new script script that scans an arbitrary block of text for URLs, and extracts any hostnames that aren't already on the big list or in a new ignore list file. I ran the data from sub.rehab and redditmigration.com through it, and found 6 new instances to add to the list:

Topic/audience focused:

  • seemel.ink - "See Me Link Aggregator" - Tech, mostly keyboards
  • awful.systems - Tech snark?
  • discuss.ntfy.sh - "ntfy (pronounced notify) is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. You can use it to send push notifications to your phone via HTTP PUT/POST."
  • fedi196.gay - LGBTQ-focused kbin instance
  • rimworld.gallery - "Rimworld.gallery is a non profit kbin server dedicated to Rimworld, especially high resolution renders made with the progress renderer mod."

Location/language focused:

  • Portuguese - lemmy.pt - "A public instance of Lemmy dedicated to the entire Portuguese-speaking community."

The ignore list may also be kind of interesting to look at. I tried to categorize non-threadiverse sites by what software they're running, in case said software ends up implementing ActivityPub in a way that's compatible with lemmy and kbin.
