Let me restate the problem:

- Mentano is offline
- It is listed on Yarn.social as a multi-user pod
- Users cannot join it, it is offline / broken; but there is no way to know until you try.

@prologic isn’t that Mentano’s problem? Not mine, not anyone, but Mentano’s.
@fastidious That his pod is down/offline/broken? Yes. That we're listing an offline/broken pod? That's our problem 😅

@prologic I see. You could list them with the caveat that they might, or might not be 100% available—one of the drawbacks of decentralisation—or ask for a contact detail as part of the prerequisite for being listed. It would make sense.

@eldersnake suggestion is quite good too!
@fastidious Yes! 😅 That was my point and the intention of this Yarn 😂 Sorry it took so long for us to get there, but yeah, I _think_ we have to do something about this in general. It's okay because we're still small and evolving, but I _would_ think it's a poor user experience to try to hit a pod you thought would be nice to join only to find out the hard way it doesn't work 😢
