Maybe each server is hosting a different area in the game, and they are connected by portals. Would need a way to transfer users and their inventory to another server.

Have you seen fedi games? https://games.rerere.org/

Forgejo?

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?

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

I really want to love peertube and use it but the transition is hard. I feel bad for “wasting” server space and compute and when I view the video on peertube I’m making my favorite creators gain less traction on YouTube which directly affects their income and growth.

I agree, peer tube’s biggest issues so far besides the storage or the fact that there are almost no peer tube servers which offer user accounts (which isn’t needed explicitly to watch videos but makes the experience much better), and also the fact that there aren’t really any good apps to use it with that aren’t outdated or abandoned.

You know that PeerTube has a build-in video import tool ? It can import Youtube / Dailymotion / Vimeo channels or playlists.

I think that downloading YouTube videos is technically illegal unless you have been the uploader of the videos. But with PeerTube you can create private channels which you could share with friends or maybe even paid subscribers I guess.

Lemmy is kinda close to forums and groups. But I do agree I prefer that format over the Reddit-like format.

What is the practical difference between that and what we have here? Genuinely curious.

It’s not really that fundamentally different from the idea of Lemmy, the interface is just different but the idea of having communities and posts in the communities is the same.

The thing that would be tricky and would probably have the most friction would be anonymous posting since that’s where things get really ugly regarding moderation and user conduct, since a good amount are just going to be spammers and many others will be trolls and malicious users.

There’s already one, I don’t remember the name and is ultra dead albeit

I would love this so much, I looked around to see if anyone had opened an official issue for that yet, but I saw nothing on their Jira

I wish they had an official presence in the Fediverse.

I kind of miss seeing the tweets on the homepage and think to myself that Mastodon or one of its forked versions would be the ideal replacement.

FBI would arrest jellyfin devs so fast before they can hit the release button.

Jellyfin federated would be so cool. Maybe a peertube front-end could achieve something similar.

Or maybe I should say I wish the “existing platform” of my city government would start their own instance.

Both Germany and the EU have their own Mastodon instances for official announcements, social.bund.de and social.network.europa.eu

There’s also an instance for the German public broadcasting service, ard.social

I wish more countries would do this

I know this is the “wrong answer” but I have always used Twitter to keep tabs on local government agencies, newspapers, reporters, restaurants, bars, events, concerts, sports teams, etc. Not to mention all the accounts that pertain to my hobby’s and interests.

Yes, it’s a problem. Even several open source projects use Tw(X)tter as their main outlet. A few years ago one project even used it to share an important security update! They must have posted it in their Discourse forum as well but I don’t visit that often. I stumbled upon the important post by coincidence with Nitter (Nitter is declared dead since a few months). Since then, lesson learned, I use some notification.

Really, the right answer here for my needs is that all these groups need to join the fediverse. I just don’t see that happening.

Agreed. Some people stay there because “everyone is there”, or their favorite VIPs are there, or people stay there because they think they should fight the bad things that happened to it from within :/ Sad.

Or maybe I should say I wish the “existing platform” of my city government would start their own instance.

That would be cool.Governments, at least in the country where I live in, need to make an effort to be transparent and reach out to their citizens without creating insurmountable barriers.Start an on-line petition and getting people to sign it, and share with the local government ?

That’s a good one. The photomarket on reddit was the main reason I was hesitant to shut down my account. And eBay is way too expensive and unfair for sellers.

I’d rather we just ditch algorithms and go back to it being random/chronological feeds.

Is there even a genealogy site that is not owned by the Genealogical Mafia i.e. Ancestry? AFAIK WikiTree hasn’t sold out yet.
