Randomize the list of instances #45
Conversation
It is not fair nor user friendly that the table of instances is now fixed ordered. Why always we have to see mastodon.xyz, awoo.space, social.tchncs.de and other sticky instances. |
might be cool to, like before, add the security/stability/longevity of each instance into account too. Seem to be gone rightnow :v Not that it's isn't fair, but user wise, being catapulted into an instance ran by someone that don't give a shit if it close in a month, etc, might be harsh... |
I'll work on that soon @Technowix, looks like a good idea :) |
After some tough might be better to have a list of "passable" instances, that get enought uptime / security / etc, and then randomize them ? :) |
That's what I'm doing on the wizard in fact. Okay. :) |
The sticky (top positioned) instances are not always stable nor user-friendly, because: (5th) socially.constructed.space is now down. (8th) social.diskseven.com is private. (9th) social.gestaltzerfall.net is now down. (10th) social.imirhil.fr is private. I suppose that randomize is better (not the best) than the fixed order. |
Of course fixed is shit, but "filtered" might be better here |

…ooltips There is no UI indication that the instance list shows incomplete data, so presenting a random sample can paint Mastodon in a bad light if all of the results are really small instances. I revert it to show 500 non-random instances instead, excluding closed ones, since that result is guaranteed to be more useful, until the UI of the list changes
The list of instances is now some non-semantic order (physical position in the database?). It has better to be randomized.
