What is this?
This is a collection of fediverse profiles, optionally verified by their owners.
Inspired by old-school webrings, you can wander through the collection to discover new denizens in the fediverse!
Who manages this ring?
Les Orchard, resident of hackers.town, editor-at-large of lmorchard.com
How do I join?
Get a hold of whomever manages the ring and ask nicely. It's a very manual process right now, all hand-crafted and artisanal. (We copy and paste your address into a CSV file.)
How does it work?
The manager of this ring maintains a list of fediverse profile addresses.
From that list, a web site is generated, with a page devoted to each profile in the list.
From each of these pages, you can navigate to discover other profiles in order or at random.
When a fediverse profile links to their page in the ring, they appear as verified by the ring.
If my profile is in the ring, how can I get verified?
Add a link to your page in the ring to your fediverse profile metadata.
Every page in the ring has a link back to the original profile using the rel="me" attribute.
How do I create my own ring?
Get a copy of this software and run it. Easiest way is to remix it on Glitch. More options may be available in the future.
