@fediverse What type of social media do you feel is lacking most in the fediverse?

@fediverse What type of social media do you feel is lacking most in the fediverse?
To elaborate, there are a lot of different types of social media already on the fediverse such as microblogs, regular blogs, image sharing, link sharing and video sharing.
Personally, I'd love to see a gaming-focused social media platform on the fediverse.
@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.
@ch0ccyra1n I personally miss an alternative to iMDB
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
Agree!
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.
This already exists: https://github.com/framasoft/mobilizon
@dave @ch0ccyra1n Friendica can do these things.
@dave are you looking for something like Friendica?
@ch0ccyra1n@petrescatraian @dave @ch0ccyra1n it seems that Friendi.ca has ActivityPub enabled on their wordpress site.
@petrescatraian @dave @ch0ccyra1n
A non php implementation of anything zot6 based would be nice
@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.
@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.
@post @carl @ch0ccyra1n @fediverse
Think we should call it "entry-level" actor or something like that tho. 😁Degraded sounds it once where top-level but now its wearing off or something.
@post @ch0ccyra1n @fediverse That would be quite a thing!
Image boards could be added to the fediverse. Whether they should be is another question.
@ch0ccyra1n @fediverse There’s mstdn.games. Admin is @britt!
@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.
A Discord equivalent.

Better blogging engines@federico3 @ch0ccyra1n @fediverse
You have seen writefreely and plume?
something like bumble, tinder, etc. would work wonderfully when federated i belive!
