This is an auxiliary utility plugin. It periodically queries Podupti.me, a public service of Diaspora* community. It retrieves a fresh list of active Diaspora* servers (so called “pods”). The list is then stored and made available for other plugins (specifically Share on Diaspora).
API
To get the podlist from another plugin, use the following reference code:
<?php $podlist = get_option('dpu-podlist'); ?>
The result is an indexed array of Diaspora* server URLs.
