@BeAware sorry I missed this. Right now it's anything that complies with mastodon API structure. Namely, the /api/v1/instance endpoint and /api/v1/instance/peers is used to learn about new instance URLs. Future state might include Misskey API compatibility as per the poll I recently ran.

Ya that one shutting down is what inspired me to spin this one up. I can't speak for who ran that account, why it shut down or what exactly contributed to it's counts but I've changed the source code that powered it because of some shortcomings it had. If an instance grew or shrank too fast it would ignore the count and if someone redirected a domain or had dev/stage domains it duplicated the numbers. It also relied on instances.social.
