     Https://fedidb.com grabs the short server descriptions, maybe not a big leap from that to your About and Rules pages.

     Robert, have you connected with fediverse.info and similar? @dansup and @jaz have done a lot of instance meta-data collection stuff, what you need might be there…

     Hey, #fedi and #mastodon folks: is there anyone out there who's written a guide to pulling out Mastodon About pages via the API?

     What I'm interested in doing is gathering About pages (including server rules). I can do this by hand (indeed, I've done this many times before!) but maybe it's time for me to learn how to use the API. I'm not interested in posts or anything to do with users -- just the About pages.
