I never got into mastodon because I couldn’t connect multiple instances. I like this a lot about Lemmy so far (just here for a few minutes though).
Reading about the fediverse got me thinking. What other use cases could you think of? Maybe outside social media?
Would a fediverse password manager be more or less secure than some company owned pm?
How about “clones” of other social media like FB and Insta, TikTok?
What about a blogging community like Medium?
Other ideas?
I’d like to see a GitHub clone for the Fediverse that enabled the cross-instance forking of code. The recent goings-on with the FOSS Invidious make me worry about the future of all open-source software that tries to allow us some level of privacy. Putting it on a distributed network would be extremely beneficial to prevent megacorps from bullying such projects out of existence.
there is an initiative for federated git “forges” called ForgeFed. I’m on mobile but will find some links when I’m on desktop
Oh, I just found it! This is cool and I’m glad it exists ♥
Also Gitea is working on federation support using ActivityPub.
I get what you’re saying, but you can already get this with a little more work. Clone + Push to other self-hosted git server instance, e.g. Gitea.
But having an overview of publicly available Giteas where you can register and cross-instance fork more easily would be nice.
