"NodeBB is at this year’s FediForum, and one of the breakout sessions centred around the Theadiverse, the subset of ActivityPub-enabled applications built around a topic-centric model of content representation.
Some of the topic touched upon included:
- Aligning on a standard representation for collections of Notes
- FEP-1b12 — Group federation and implementation thereof by Lemmy, et al.
- Offering a comparatively more feature-rich experience vis-a-vis restrictions re: microblogging
- Going forward: collaborating on building compatible threadiverse implementations
The main action item involved the genesis of an informal working group for the threadiverse, in order to align our disparate implementations toward a common path."
Fuck yes, networks of forums are fabulous, as we on lemmy have to all agree. Welcome to the threadiverse NodeBB!
Not to forget those of us not on lemmy! ;)
In the end what this all produces is freedom of choice - we are no longer constrained to using whatever service has users, but we can use whatever service we want to be using. The users/content will be there independently.
