"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."
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.
