About Diaspora Podlist Updater
From the official readme · v0.0.3Description
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:

The result is an indexed array of Diaspora* server URLs.
