I want to announce a new project of mine, the Fediverse Almanac. It is literally an API for the Fediverse. It has data on over 20k active instances- not just Mastodon, but a variety of Fediverse services. You can use it to gather data on software, networks, and companies on the Fediverse. It has a robust Reputation section that aggregates and exposes ban data and keywords. It shows what instances are banned by others and why. #fediverse #fediblockmeta #opensource https://www.fediversealmanac.com/docs

A website that pulls instance details from many different instance platforms across the fediverse.

Controversially though, one of the features of the site is the ability to search for an instance and see which other instances have blocked it. This same feature exists on an existing tool with links to kiwifarms and ryona agency. The ryona agency tool has previously lead to spam and harassment aimed at instance admins based on their block list by admins from sites that have been blocked.

Due to this history, we are starting to see Fediblock requests for the site, and though this hasn’t blown up at the time of writing, I expect it shortly will!

Edit - Since the initial post, the dev announced an update to remove the ryona agency like functionality, and has also apparently been banned from his instance.

Edit 2 - Some commentary from the dev explaining that his reason for inventing to tool was to help with an issue of malicious proxies bypassing instance blocks. This was written by the dev before the ban mentioned in the previous edit
