We need intrepid explorers to connect us with the best other federations out there.

@StevenFan Anybody seen signs of life from the @refactorcamp.org quadrant?
Dead afaik, used to have an account there.
@StevenFan we need maps!
@StevenFan I know of fediverse.party -- it seems to only half-work, like the-federation.info. I think there's both potential in these tools and in the niche of making a solid, thorough, user friendly map.
@StevenFan one issue I see coming is that some people in the [[fediverse]] *don't want* for information to flow freely (they have their reasons; I just don't share this concern myself). So maps and explorers need to somehow respect their wishes.
@flancian a Prime Directive of sorts. Non interference in federations seeking internally.
@StevenFan there will be many mistakes and lands with bloodthirsty savages, but eventually we must encounter an enclave of kindred spirits
