Fediverse.observer (one of the longest running fediverse instance and software trackers, as it started for Diaspora) shut down. I think it would be really good to figure out how we can at least get a copy of the historical data and get that back up somewhere.

learned this thru https://cake.kobel.fyi/c/fediverse@lemmy.world/p/225784/fediverse-observer-is-offline-and-no-longer-being-developed

hey @Epsilon_02, @6543 I see you two are the ones working on the-federation (next) and now that fediverse.observer is gone and the-federation.info is no longer running it would be a great time to have something a little more robust up. Is the `next` project still planning on launching somewhere?

@liaizon @6543 currently `next` is stale because private live caught up with us 😅
The old the-federation still lives on life support, but the hardware where it was hosted had a problem and we didn't found the time to move to new one. The data is save, but sadly we have now a bigger gap, but the website will be up again soon (TM).

Since `next` has some decisions we wouldn't do now in the present, I think this would also need a fresh start again.
