# fediscope

Discover fediverse accounts using Wikidata.

# How it works

The tool uses the Wikidata query service at https://query.wikidata.org/ to

look up accounts with the ["Mastodon address" property](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P4033)

that inclusively match an occupation. It then renders the results in a table

and lets you download them as a Mastodon-compatible CSV file.

# Limitations

- Wikidata information is sometimes outdated

- Taxonomy can be surprising (e.g., anyone who's written an op-ed is an

  opinion journalist, and therefore also a journalist)

- Notability criteria for inclusion in Wikidata can seem arbitrary

- Not mobile-friendly

# Improvements welcome

- Any and all issue reports and PRs are appreciated

- Would be great to expand the tool with other capabilities, e.g., searching

  organization types.
