Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

I feel this in my soul.
There has been other websites that have little bits of data like the actors who are involved, but nothing comes close to being as comprehensive as iMDB.
A less messy and equally as comprehensive version of IMDB would be fantastic. I’m not sure what that would look like exactly; instance of something vs a full blown federated platform of its own… But would be cools either way.
for me imdb is useful for checking ratings and rating. would love to rate stuff that isnt on an amazon project

@ch0ccyra1n @fediverse Great topic.
A big thing that's lacking at the moment is not so much new platforms, but dedicated instances using the existing Fediverse platforms.
A great example of what I mean is something like Urbanists.video. It's a PeerTube instance dedicated to videos about urban planning, cycling, and transport.
We need more dedicated instances like that for more special interest communities.
Just imagine a PeerTube and LemmyBB instance dedicated to baking. Or Buddhism. Or the global Armenian diaspora. Or folk music. Or quilt makers. Or charity fundraisers. Or particular social issues. Or high school principals. Or a particular university. Or independent short films. Or netball. Or watercolour artists.
The more dedicated communities like that exist, the stronger the Fediverse ecosystem is as a whole.
A federated #forum software. But most likely there are a couple in the works. There's The Pavilion cooperative working on a plugin for #Discourse and some time ago a #Flarum maintainer told me they are working on adding #ActivityPub support too. And there's #LemmyBB which has forum-like aspects.
You made me learn about LemmyBB, interesting project
@ch0ccyra1n something for organising events and groups would be nice. I think that's probably the only useful feature of Facebook.
@dave are you looking for something like Friendica?
@ch0ccyra1n
@petrescatraian @dave @ch0ccyra1n it seems that Friendi.ca has ActivityPub enabled on their wordpress site.

@dave do you know that firefox wrongly state that your pleroma instance is a "deceptive site" ?
i saw this crap happen to others, don't remember why

@ch0ccyra1n @fediverse Perhaps it already exists in some way, but I would like it if for example public or official web pages could easily connect their RSS update functionality to the Fediverse, so that I can follow a web page of for example my municipality, and also comment and engage in the Fediverse in relationship to public institutions.
@carl @ch0ccyra1n There are Wordpress plugins that allow websites to be followed as ActivityPub accounts.
Even better if Fediverse servers could treat any RSS/Atom feed as a “degraded” ActivityPub actor and let users subscribe, boosts and comment posts. We would have de facto a comment platform for everything that has a RSS/Atom feed.
You can't boost, comment and vote on a RSS post, since AP sends those activities to the origin server.
But subscribing could work, Lemmy would implement a RSS reader basically.

@Post @Carl Heath @ch0ccyra1n :ins: :she_her: :vim: :trans: :lesb: :polyam: @Fediverse RSS and Atom only work in one direction. You cannot subscribe to a blog or a news site via RSS and Atom and then send comments. There is no back channel, full stop.
If this was possible, you could be absolutely certain that at least #Friendica and #Hubzilla would have had this very feature implemented since long before Mastodon was even launched. But they don't, although they federate with just about everything that moves otherwise.
@jupiter_rowland @fediverse I see, and realize the complexity. Given this, it would be awesome with that kind of connection, some kind of tool that could take any web page and make a two way connection in the style of RSS. Something easy to install or connect to a web, and provide interaction.

@ch0ccyra1n @fediverse video streaming. Yess there is peertube. Only works if you run it from own server
@redegelde @ch0ccyra1n @fediverse
And there's @owncast
@smallcircles @ch0ccyra1n @fediverse @owncast not what i mean. As teacher i capture the moment with phone an Youtube to stream live.
@redegelde @smallcircles @ch0ccyra1n @fediverse @owncast
fyi there's an android app called larix broadcaster that allows you to livestream to peertube directly from your phone.
@dave @ch0ccyra1n @owncast @fediverse @smallcircles thanks. But all peertube instances does not give confirmation mail. Or does not accept new users
@redegelde @ch0ccyra1n @owncast @fediverse @smallcircles
I want to say that a raspberry pi or similar low power computer with yunohost installed is more than capable of self hosting peertube on the cheap.
A recent update on mine has broken something though, so I can't vouch for how easy it is these days. It should be possible to have your own instance set up with a few clicks though.
As long as your internet connection is fast enough to stream the video, it does the job without you having to pay for hosting.
