Social networking, back in your hands
May 03, 2022
The really useful part of this website is the video (ironically hosted on YouTube) explaining what the fediverse is. It's a pretty good explanation of a complex topic. The site also has a partial listing of fediverse projects and mobile apps and a mock-up of a search function (it looks like you can actually enter a search term, but it only works on a few predefined terms) to find people to follow according to their interests. The fediverse itself is the network of products and services that are connected by ActivityPub, a W3C standard for sending messages and following people. What it needs most, though, is a widely used way to 'log on as' your federated ID, the way you can today 'log on with Google'. See more here. See also this thread on Hacker News.
