# 
tantek is there a directory of Known instances? like this directory of Mastodon instances? https://instances.mastodon.xyz/ (e.g. that one could add their own Known instance too?)

[cleverdevil] Pretty happy with my Food plugin, after using it for a few days now: https://cleverdevil.io/content/food/
# [cleverdevil] I still have a bug where the syndication toggles show up on publish, but don't actually seem to work.
# [cleverdevil] If there's anyone who feels like taking a look, let me know!

[chrisaldrich] tanted: how would a directory of Known instances be useful? I get it for GNU_social and Mastodon because they're federated.

# [chrisaldrich] tantek: Maybe a massive list of indieweb "federated" sites, but ultimately that would be too huge to be useful?
# [chrisaldrich] it could certainly be an interesting thing to have built into a /reader.

# [chrisaldrich] I suspect there are some Universities running a "group" version of Known that people could join. And of course the original version of withknown.com allowed one to sign up for subdomains.... But I think they were mostly modeled as standalone sites.
# [chrisaldrich] considers spinning up a Known instance which anyone could sign up for...
# [cleverdevil] A members-only Known site might be a great place for IndieWeb community interactions and discussion.
# [cleverdevil] Something more long-lived than IRC/Slack.
# [cleverdevil] maybe stream.indieweb.org?
# [chrisaldrich] The only one I've seen in the wild was https://teach.kqed.org/, but it appears to have been pretty locked down.
