To know what software an instance is running (Mastodon, Pleroma, Akkoma, Firefish, Friendica, etc), have to make 2 calls:

1. `/.well-known/nodeinfo` - get the `href` for a nodeinfo link e.g. https://mastodon.social/.well-known/nodeinfo
2. `/nodeinfo/2.0` (possibly 1.0 or 2.1 too) - get the `software.name` e.g. https://mastodon.social/nodeinfo/2.0

And… both are not CORS-enabled (again) for web apps to request 😅😢

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/users/cheeaun/statuses/111119956535312629 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
