What other services should we federate? We've got Twitter (Pleroma/Mastodon), chat (Matrix/XMPP/RocketChat), and YouTube (PeerTube), but what else?

I was seriously considering trying to federate classic forum software, but @sundowner in a private call said the idea is kinda lame. I like it still, but I'm more skeptical of it.

@NEETzsche @sundowner
Not sure just how different/necessary would it be, but next up in the line of social media would be reddit.

Not sure how would I even want such system to work though, but it would be nice to be able to find posts and comments on a single topic no matter what the room's owner thinks of me.

And of course, there is still a missing alternative for Dissenter, since the original "comment everywhere" extension got ban hammered hard. Not sure the federation would solve this one, but I still wanted to mention it in case it would...

@LukeAlmighty

They have a federated reddit named Lemmy but it has hard coded naughty no no words in it, and no, I'm not joking:

And where he says he wants to make it hard for racists to use:

@sundowner

@NEETzsche @LukeAlmighty @sundowner did you know that you cannot talk about Nigeria on lemmy?

@NEETzsche @LukeAlmighty @sundowner

also bitching isn’t something I would slur out. have you seen what’s in the filter?

@kura

I did a long while ago when I first looked into it. Also, the link you sent me that's a fork of this doesn't work.

@LukeAlmighty @sundowner

@NEETzsche @LukeAlmighty @sundowner

i didnt send a fork. the fork i knew off was called lenny, but it has been long abandonned.

the link i sent was of go-littr - the link might got broken bc mobile magics. if so, im sorry. go-littr is a complete alternative to lemmy. though its not api compatible

@kura

The real question that I would like to ask is how convoluted is Lemmy's federation protocol? Do you know?
