LibreHoster list for Trunk

Hey @Amolith, I’m curious what you want to put on this list, and how it would be maintained.

When I read:

Trunk allows you to mass-follow a bunch of people

If you click on one of the lists below, you’ll see a page full of people that volunteered to be on that list. Yeah, people . Our goal is to connect newbies with people . The only exception we have is our Organizations, NGOs & Associations list. All the other lists are about people.

I understand that you would add another exception since librehosters, beyond the people behind the network, are primarily a network of organizations. In this perspective, although I can imagine why one would like to follow individual members of the network, I do not understand why it would make sense to aggregate a list of individual members of our network under the umbrella librehosters in this context.

On the other hand, if your intention is to bootstrap a following list of librehosting accounts, whether announcement accounts or else, then I think it should be gathered automatically from the librehost.json files, in other words: extracted from the LH directory. In this case, we should think about defining a specific field for this that would point to an “official” Fediverse account that the librehoster may use for this purpose. What kind of contents should be provided at this endpoint? Is it not already available in the form of a “status page”? What purpose would it serve beyond making us more discoverable so to speak?
