  I tried getting into Mastadon a while back but didn't manage to find decent instances to subscribe to. There's just so many! Any advice on where to get started?

    Hey, I am working on a mastodon aggregator, which can help with exploring instances and figuring out which one to join. It should be launching soon! https://mastodonia.club https://mastodonia.club

      I hope you get consent from people and instances before aggregating any data like posts and profiles. This kind of thing is very unpopular on the fediverse if done the wrong way. Meaning without permission.

        That's a fair point. I am definitely not trying to anger the fediverse community. I just want to make it more discoverable. I was assuming since mastodon instances have public apis, and public "explore" feeds, creating an aggregator was no different than creating a mastodon instance with a different ui. I am also being pretty respectful in terms of how frequently I ping the api. I also include contact information the user-agent that hits the api. I would respect any instances request to stop aggregating. Also this tool is linked directly in the mastodon documentation https://mastovue.glitch.me/ https://mastovue.glitch.me/
