So the new FediDB is quite powerful, allowing you to search specific software servers with the following optional filters:

- latest version
- open registration
- region (North America, Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, Oceania)
- mature servers (3+ years old)
- small communities (< 10k users)

Not to mention sorting by user count, status count, mau, and server age.

And you can also search by domain.

I’ll share a demo screencast shortly, I think you guys will love it 😊
