Pushed an update to https://pangora.social to improve various aspects of the instance selector.
Instance Preview
Instead of directly sending someone to an instance it will instead show a preview of the instance so they can see info on it. Info includes:
- A description of the instance
- Name & Icon
- The site administrators (hovering over an avatar gives a popup with info on them)
- The instance uptime
- Where the instance is hosted
- The software and version used for the instance
Theres also a get another site button that pops up if theres more than 1 site for a certain category. When clicked it just gives another one in the category.
Category Shuffling
I changed around the locations of some of the categories and added some new ones. Certain categories will point to general instances until a specific instance is made for that category (but it exists with the general instances for now so I can automate adding stuff to it in the future)
Regions was added as a main category instead of being in other, and crypto and finance was moved into technology.
Pages
If theres too many subcategories for a category it now gets split up into different pages. Currently only happens in the regions category and replaces the old behaviour of using an other category to then send people to another section with more
Wanted to do another update before I start focusing a ton on ludum dare. There may be another update that gets pushed recentish to make instance owners be able to add themselves to categories but unknown when that will go out.
If you host an instance and you want it to be listed (and it isnt already) just let me know and ill add it.
