If you make tools for Mastodon, consider increasing compatibility with the rest of the fediverse.

This guide might help.

@kpwn No problem!

Previously I only linked to https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-info as an example, and the code wasn't easy to find, so having an example code right on the page definitely makes sense.

Thank you for bringing this up!

@Stefan Bohacek To add to your table:

Hubzilla supports nodeinfo 2.0 and 2.1.

Examples from a stable release, just to show that they can differ, depending on how a hub is configured:
https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/.well-known/nodeinfo
https://im.allmendenetz.de/.well-known/nodeinfo
https://klacker.org/.well-known/nodeinfo
https://hubzilla.monster/.well-known/nodeinfo

Example from a development release:
https://zotum.net/.well-known/nodeinfo

However, it looks like nodeinfo can be turned off entirely by the hubmin. At least hubzilla.org has a blank nodeinfo page.

(streams) always has a blank nodeinfo page. Most nodeinfo code has intentionally been removed. It understands nodeinfo, but it seems to send something else instead which it only understands itself, which is limited in what information it offers, and which isn't parsed by Fediverse stats/instance-listing websites.

By the way: Both Hubzilla and (streams) support both OAuth and OAuth2 both as a client and as a server. However, Hubzilla's documentation is painfully outdated in this regard; parts of it still refer to Red, so they were last touched before the name change to Red Matrix. And (streams) doesn't have any documentation.

Also, Hubzilla and (streams) are the only Fediverse server applications with full, i.e. both server-side and client-side support for OpenWebAuth single sign-on.
