How to get your platform listed

The recommended metadata to implement is NodeInfo2.

Failing that, NodeInfo works too.

Mastodon and Matrix instances are scraped with a dedicated scraper since they don't (yet) provide generic metadata.

OK, I've done that, what now?

Register your node here, for example https://the-federation.info/register/mynode.tld. If it is a success, you're good! If your platform is new, or you want to update an existing platform information, raise an issue providing the following:

  • URL to code
  • Description
  • Display name
  • Code license
  • Icon
  • URL to install guide
  • Tagline
  • URL to official website

If it's closed source, leave out link to code and install guide. Icon can be any size, currently only using 16px. Possibly will have a larger image at some point on the platform page. Tagline is a kind of short one sentence marketing line, see other platforms.
