the https://federationtester.matrix.org/ frontend is probably still the most used piece of software I've ever made, but GoToSocial actually has tons of self-hosted versions everywhere now, and it always catches me off-guard like "i made that"
@f0x UX is like 95% of the challenge when using some new tech
Sure, the modprobe thing I had to do last night was writing 1 line into a new file, but it took me a solid 30 min to figure out what the line should say
@f0x oh god yeah i find that. sometimes i find someone cool to follow, click on their profile and it opens a gotosocial instance. fucking wild
the federation tester thing is kinda odd in general, I made it super quickly ages ago and it's just a slightly more approachable abstraction over the json report from the api that someone else already made
