Fantastic! I was just looking for an alternative to Meetup, and a lot of the ticketing things dont quite fit the bill. Consider integration with some FOSS Fediverse payment integrations.
This dating app has many problems yes the fediverse is all about privacy but what about actually knowing enough information to swipe yes or no. For all one knows the person may or may not be single, may or may not have kids may be an evangelical ect ect.
Hmmm ... big fan and "heck yea" on the general idea of better UI interop.
But I have (vague) questions about the specifics here.
I recently ranted about this issue (over on masto: here).
I was prompted by the coming of blogs to mastodon feeds but tried to address the issue generally: do we really want to rely on all the content from all the platforms being folded into a single platform, especially a relatively brutalist one like mastodon?
That blogs and microblogs can have meaningful friction is itself a rather ominous alarm on this front IMO.
And so my questions:
Is this not bigger than Article interop with mastodon?
But rather touches on the quality of federation across the whole fediverse in terms of all of the inter-platform UI disparities?
IE, For N platforms, there are N * N interop problems where the UI frictions can fail. Without a general solution, that's exponential.
Is campaigning mastodon's devs to improve Article interop where we want to find the fediverse at the this (kinda early/formative) moment when some form of general approach/framework may be necessary?
As an example (and I am speaking with a good degree of ignorance on the technical details here) ... what about all of the other clients, where differences in markdown rendering (for those platforms that support it) can already cause some issues, albeit minor. Or is this not really about formatting/rendering?
Are there not more general approaches/solutions that have been thought of?
I've been keeping my eye on this project. Eventually, I hope to use it for an instance on my own metal, as it promises to be a lighter on resources' server than Mastodon.
I think your points are valid. There is still work to do to enable government amd corporate agencies to easily operate their own domain in fediverse. There are projects and server hosting providers that are making that easier but realistically we need to see those services become much more integrated with existing social media, website and email management tools ( Think software like Hootesuite, SproutSocial, HubSpot on the client side and GoDaddy, AWS, Azure, 1&1Ionos on the server side ) that include managed activitypub services to SMEs and corporates and a way of managing them. I see these being like email accounts, only available for use by the domain user but can exchange content through federation. Moderation in these cases is just like dealing with Spam (Which email providers already do) - I know these approaches mean that at the infrastructure level there is a tendency back to centralisation but the difference is that there is no lockin. A company/org/Person can take their website / domain to whatever infrastructure they want.
Doesn't work for me (lemmy.mindoki.com) okay I maybe have only one or two users but still 😅. BTW I had to tilt the phone to get put of the too small "reactive" page so that the search bar showed up.
Sadly, that's a little bit too chaotic for what we want to do. For this go-around, we're improvising with a modified WordPress plugin. Moving forward, we might do some custom development and integrate it with the ActivityPub-WordPress plugin to post out entries to the Fediverse.
