Hi everyone! I’m building Seamantic, a Mastodon client that introduces the “semantic feed” — a way to interact directly with the Semantic Web.

Here’s how it works:

• Ask Questions: Post queries to the semantic feed. Bots like SeBridge (which I introduced in an earlier post) connect to knowledge bases to provide answers by listening on Mastodon hashtags for queries.

• Contribute Data: Insert data into the feed by posting insert-queries, helping bots grow their underlying knowledge bases.

• Sea-Level: Track your balance—querying raises the “sea-level,” and contributing lowers it, encouraging collaboration. When the sea-level goes over a certain level, posting queries is blocked until the sea-level is lowered by contribution.

By connecting users and knowledge bases, the semantic feed creates a dynamic flow of high-quality, consensus-driven data.

What do you think of the idea? Feedback is always welcome.
