Most of this data is already available in the instance browser. To get country information, you click the "IP lookup" button next to any link. So, if you include that website's functionality, we already have

  • Country info
  • Server provider
  • IP
  • Cloudflare usage? Hosts tor? And more.

When I look up rimgo, I find stuff about privacy frontends for imgur. What about it?

I meant more of the 'this insance logs [something]' aspect. Right now, pretty much every (if not all) instance(s) has your "i don't log anything i sewar" monologue. Not judging.

Yeah well I guess its a bit ambiguous. Initially I thought people hosting the project would change it up but no one did. I'll word it in a different way later.

i'd like to add to this with the semi-related #43:

	<tr>
		<td>Search engine</td>
		<td>{%server_name%}</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Shortcut</td>
		<td>{%server_name%}</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>URL with %s in place of query</td>
		<td>https://4get.ca/web?s=%s</td>
	</tr>

the critical (definitely variable) component here (the backend search URL) is hardcoded to the main instance!

really, the proper solution should be making a suitably generic 'about' description and putting it in config.php next to the rest of the identifying fields so people setting it up are encouraged to change it.

then the whole "hello my full legal name is jonathan gallindo and i want pictures of cloacas" thing can just be in your config for the main instance

I'll just reword the about page so that it's less misleading.
