Threadiverse Working Group
-
NodeBB is at this year's FediForum, and one of the breakout sessions centred around the Theadiverse, the subset of ActivityPub-enabled applications built around a topic-centric model of content representation.
Some of the topic touched upon included:
- Aligning on a standard representation for collections of Notes
- FEP-1b12 — Group federation and implementation thereof by Lemmy, et al.
- Offering a comparatively more feature-rich experience vis-a-vis restrictions re: microblogging
- Going forward: collaborating on building compatible threadiverse implementations
The main action item involved the genesis of an informal working group for the threadiverse, in order to align our disparate implementations toward a common path.
We intend to meet monthly at first, with the first meeting likely sometime early-to-mid April.
The topic of the first WG call is: Representation of the higher level collection of Notes (posts, etc.) — Article vs. Page, etc?
Interested?
- Publicly reply to this post (NodeBB does not support non-public posts at this time) if you'd like to join the list
- If you prefer to remain private, please email [email protected]
As an aside, I'd love to try something new and attempt to keep as much of this as I can on the social web. Can you do me a favour and boost this to your followers?
-
@julian This is an awesome idea. Thank you for making it happen. I would love to be a part of this, so please include me when you set up the group.
The more real-world interop discussions we can have among developers, the better EVERYONE’S Fediverse will be.
-
@julian I'm interested in hearing what comes out of this. I doubt I'll have much of my own to contribute, though.
-
@julian sounds awesome, sign me up!
-
@julian I'm not sure I'd have too much time to join the WG, but I think it's a great development and your interview on FLOSS Weekly was really cool.
-
@julian Definitely interested in this, I'd like to keep Ludwig's federation features aligned with the broader Threadiverse, and hopefully we can arrive at some standards to make everything more interoperable.
-
@julian I'm interested. Perhaps there should be a Group actor for announcements that people can follow? It could be a Lemmy community, or Friendica group, even a Discourse category on SocialHub (sorry, I don't know if nodeBB has an equivalent).
-
@[email protected] not yet, but give me a week and your wish may come true
-
@julian this is of interest, thanks.
-
@julian I'd be interested in hearing the discussions
-
@julian all sounds very promising. Hope you have fruitful discussions.
-
@julian Can I suggest you gang this up under the umbrella of the Fediverse Developer Network. That way, we can coordinate documentation and community. @andypiper and I will run a session on FediDevs tomorrow where we could discuss practicalities.
-
@J12t @julian @andypiper perhaps off topic & more the "getting devs started", but I am working on stuff for trust & safety, it's just slow because I don't get much time to work on it. (and Julian, I've your email to reply to later this week)
-
@silverpill @julian I can set one up on Hubzilla if you all are interested.
-
@[email protected] working under or alongside the fedidevs network would lend some credibility to an otherwise skunkworks-like group.
Keeping this front-of-mind, but would likely wait and see how first session goes.
Very interested in checking out that session tomorrow as well though, let's chat.
-
I'm interested. I'm developing a thing connecting email systems & clients to the fediverse. Essentially, a SMTP to ActivityPub adapter (https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/apas.html) Early days but I'm keen to watch the space and see if I can squash any bugs making me unable to use my mail client to communicate with everyone
-
@julian @fediversereport Yes please
-
@julian Glad you’ve got this going! We’d love to discuss interoperability at some stage
-
Hi Julian, this is a great initiative. We're not part of the Threadiverse per se but we'd be interested in conversations around interoperability for sure!
