Diaspora NodeInfo

Implementation of NodeInfo protocol in Swift.

About Node Info

NodeInfo is an effort to create a standardized way of exposing metadata about a server running one of the distributed social networks. The two key goals are being able to get better insights into the user base of distributed social networking and the ability to build tools that allow users to choose the best-fitting software and server for their needs.

So far, integration of this standard exists for the following software:

• Mastodon
• Lemmy
• Misskey
• PeerTube
• Pixelfed
• ...

and others, see full list on official website https://nodeinfo.diaspora.software

Features

Supports the latest NodeInfo versions:

• 2.0
• 2.1

These are the most modern and widely used versions of the protocol.
