@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.
@silverpill @julian This verifier has been a godsend for me. Thank you for creating it and making it available to everyone.
@julian Oh gosh, no 
I just owed another developer a list of the stuff I'm using. "Official" means there's gonna be a committee involved, and hurt feelings when someone's not included.
But maybe this can be a starting point for someone (else) to make a real "official" map for the fedidevs site
If I've missed something important, I swear it's just incompetence, not malice, so let me know and I'll try to fix stuff.
@andypiper Yes, this list belongs on FediDevs, not on my website, so please take and use it if you want.
How would I post it to FediDevs? Can I just make a PR?
@andypiper Okay. I'll hold up for now. No need to rock the boat if it's already making waves. But I'm happy to contribute any way I can ~ just let me know the best way to do so
At #FediForum, @n00q discussed a Federated music service for #BandCamp refugees. After a few days of drawing up requirements and specs, and a couple days of code, something interesting is taking shape.
Here's a too-fast-tour of a hypothetical album page built with #Emissary. Custom skins, uploads, and transcoding music is still TBD, but so far this feels like magic.
Bands' profiles will be native citizens of the Fediverse to like, share, and comment. Excited yet?
Woo Hoo! Check out Baby's first FEP...
If you're a #Fedidev developer, please check out FEP-3b86 at https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/3b86/fep-3b86.md
I'm working on "Remote Likes" and "Remote Shares" that help you jump back to your own home server to post when you find something cool on another website.
Imagine those "Share on Facebook" buttons, without all the ick.
I know it needs some work (that's what FEPs are for, yea?) so please read, comment, and help me get this over the finish line.
I really struggled with this, because there’s so much that’s NOT covered in the specs.
I made this list of resources that have helped me. Hopefully it helps you: https://emissary.dev/fediverse-resources
@dansup Yes. After Bandcamp.
I had an online discussion about a Federated-Yelp that raised some interesting points that might apply to SO as well -- How do you “federate” the features that DON’T fit into the standard social media formulae? Things like “accepted answers” might only work on a centralized server.
Also, this might fall under the threaded discussion WG. I’d love to talk in more detail if you’re ever interested.
Well written article with many good reasons to NOT fork Mastodon.
In recent weeks, people unhappy with Mastodon project talked about forking the project in a different direction. It's harder than it looks.
We Distribute (wedistribute.org)
My favorite part was about a previously attempted fork called the Florence project. According to the article, they were apparently better at having meetings than producing actual code. I laughed. I cried. I relived so many years of software development trauma.
@jenniferplusplus @hrefna I love this thread and the fact that you’re all thinking about these things. Not to muddy the waters, but...
This sounds a bit like FEP-5624 in that the original poster may want to to choose which parts of a thread to sync with others.
I think the original poster could be considered the primary source of truth, which might also minimize the amount of “gossip protocol” required to sync this distributed db.
@spacetimedonut Is “test on production servers” the wrong answer? Because it FEELS like the wrong answer.
Anyways, I had to test on production servers to make any progress with Mastodon...
@julian This is the better answer. But I'll still count it as "testing on production" because it's a live URL that requires that *I* post a live server somewhere on the Interwebs.
In case someone needs context, ActivityPub Academy is a full instance of Mastodon with a debugging console that lets you see every inbound/outbound transaction. The website is: https://activitypub.academy
It's awesome, and I wish other servers had something similar.
