well it works like this:

basically it is a decentralized search engine that uses activity pub (so probably it is technically in the fediverse)

how??

well instead of the thing scraping the entire web (which is probably by what you guess has many implications and is probably impossible)

it is a human made database of websites that syncs with other databases of websites

so if there for example are 2 databases in 2 servers each with 50 websites: you can get 100 websites

and to make it easier for links and more to be added

i make requests: which are requests for a specific websites or URL to be added, which can be approved or denied

how do you fix such idea

StumbleUpon was a good time, you had to give submissions a few categories. So you would set your categories and the button would give you whatever page was next in the list that fits your combined categories. You could blacklist sites, categories and users that submitted something. That's how it could be user controlled

I enjoyed it back in the day. Made short stints on the web a little more random. It was a great way to find small and interesting pages
