What existing platforms do you wish were federated?

@Blaze@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 months ago

LinkedIn.

It’s one of the last social media I have. Benefits outweigh cons, but I still would like to get rid of it

I’ve been wanting to create this but I don’t have enough experience making federated anything. Which parts of LinkedIn would you want replicated the most?

@Blaze@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 months ago

Just being able to see interesting job posts in my field and area

But if you would like to contribute to Fediverse project, I would say that the current link aggregator options would have more impact:

if you know Rust: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
if you know Java: https://github.com/sublinks
if you know PHP: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/
if you know Python: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/

So is kbin unofficially dead now?

EDIT: Huh, checked the GitHub repo’s contributions graph … and yea, nothing since the end of last year. Is Ernest ok?

By comparison, mbin has multiple significant contributors … nice to see.

@Blaze@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 months ago

Yes, that’s why I always link Mbin nowadays

What are the benefits of Linkedin? Ive never seen anyone mention it positively

@best_username_ever@sh.itjust.works · 6 months ago

It can be like Facebook if you don’t know how to use it. It can suck.

But I found all my jobs thanks to this website so I can’t complain.

@Blaze@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 months ago

I found my latest job there. Some companies tend to mostly post in LinkedIn rather than other job boards. I guess it’s probably country dependent

I do B2B hardware and software projects. I hate sales and advertising but I will post something I’m working on about once a week on my personal LinkedIn. It’s amazing how many customers reference that stuff when I have my first meeting.
