I’ve been trying to figure this out for over a year now.

This is my latest concept that I’ll try to make.

What do you all think?

    I like the webring idea but I would hope finding the right server would be automated, clicking through thousands of servers sounds exhausting.

      I like the webring idea

      Really? It wasn’t even really even popular when it was popular. Search engines quickly became a better way to find things. webrings were always broken.

      This might even be an appropriate use for AI (maybe even running in-browser for privacy). I imagine something that reads your prompt and auto-populates a few rings to search. You review and edit the suggested rings, then click search.

      The details are in the work, but there is consideration for enabling a preference to automatically select the fastest server.

      I’ve also considered making servers announce load reports, telling other servers how much load they are under, that way a server can be selected via both fastest and least under-load.
