Good advice! I definitely planned on utilizing existing implementations or proposals of implementations. That honestly seems like a much better place to have this discussion overall, thanks!

Totally fair, and I understand the skepticism. I am not promising anything here, all I can tell you is what my intentions and overall plans are, but you have no reason to take me at my word.

This is a big one I think. Most people I think are under the impression that the fediverse is fully portable and you can just migrate instances without any hiccups, which is not 100% true. Only your followers/following list can migrate, but posts are permanently locked to your instance, which is kind of surprising to learn.

Critical missing feature, for sure!

Fwiw, I have a shoddy foundation that is not worth showing to the public yet. I will be open sourcing and opening up to contributors when it is in some form of an alpha phase, but right now it is solidly pre alpha, so I am not yet developing in the open, but just putting feelers out on what the community wants.

 

I am working on ideas for a new fediverse platform with a lot of integrated features, and would like to take the pulse on the most desired features for the fediverse that you feel should be included in most if not all apps. Here are the options to consider, please pick your top 1 or 2 that would make you feel like the fediverse is as useful as other closed wall sites:

  • Polls
  • Events
  • Marketplace/classified ads
  • Reels (tiktok style vertical videos)
  • E2EE messaging
  • Group chat
  • Video chat
  • Live streaming
  • Post migration from other fediverse platforms/instances
  • RSS subscriptions
  • Import/parsing of gdpr archives from closed wall platforms like Meta, and automatic social graph reconstruction based on other user archive imports

Honestly could not think of a single thing that they could do to get me to download the launcher. None of those features make it steam, and never will
