At this year’s FediForum one of the breakout sessions centred around the Theadiverse, the subset of ActivityPub-enabled applications built around a group-centric model of content representation.
The main outcome of the meeting involved the genesis of an informal working group for the threadiverse, in order to align our disparate implementations toward a common path.
If you’re developer of a threadverse app/platform and interested in being involved, read more at https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/112124227775597261 or https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17908/threadiverse-working-group
So who is involved in this so far?
Developers from Discourse, NodeBB, Mbin, PieFed, Hubzilla and maybe some more that I forgot. Possibly Lemmy devs too, someone is contacting them directly about that.
If we can get Discourse and NodeBB sharing nicely with Lemmy+Mbin+PieFed it could more than double the size of the threadverse. It’s a big deal.
Indeed!
If that all comes together, it’d be like “what kind of forum/reddit platform does the fediverse have” and the answer would just be “yes”.
