      Yeah there’s a similar tool for the wider microblogging part of fediverse (Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, etc.) but because it was made by an edgelord it gets dismissed. I get the vibe some instances just don’t want to share that information, which is important when you’re basically dealing with web infrastructure, and get mad when you seek that information out.

        Oh yeah, big time.
        When I posted it to the lemmy admin chatroom, some admins who shall remain nameless commented saying it “gave bad vibes” and that wanting to know such information felt “toxic and gross”. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, of course, but considering the data is already available under the /instances page… well it’s just weird that anyone would have a problem with wanting to make it more accessible.

      That doesn’t work at all for me. Search button does nothing.
