Elk, the Mastodon web client, has an excellent development setup with good documentation and solid leadership. There’s lots of little fediverse startups. I’ve submitted some pull requests to Postmarks, a federated bookmark manager. It’s very early stages and fun to be part of that!

If you follow their lab, wip and their weekly updates (changes), you can see things being rolled out at a snails pace that are required for a fully fledged fediverse platform.

Polling, self moderation, notifications, etc. but it’s taking a looooong time…and there’s really no incentive for their devs to invest time in it, right? Because I won’t be seeing ads if I view tumblr content from my Kbin client for example.

I’m still having a hard time understanding why meta cares either. More audience for branded / sponsored posts?
