@The_Picard_Maneuver I sometimes think that the next iteration of “The Indieweb” is “The Fediweb”', with all these sites hooking in to each other using ActivityPub.
WordPress and Ghost already do this, and I’m sure there are more, we just have to reach a critical mass.
@The_Picard_Maneuver Just to give one, rather niche, example…
I haven’t used Lemmy in a long time, but I’m assuming you can search for tags.
Try doing a search for #egcc - this account here will pop up, but if you’re lucky, so will @mancavgeek .
Congratulations, youve found my small, Fediversified WordPress site.
I picked a tag that pretty much appears on every post there (it’s the 4 letter ICAO code for Manchester Airport, where I do most of my planespotting), but there are also tags that identify the subject matter (planespotting, photography, AvGeek, etc).
Ghost does something similar, as well as Plume (RIP), WriteFreely, and others.
This would take WebRings and guest books to a whole new level, allowing 2 way communication between sites across a decentralised W3C spec.
It should be fairly trivial for the people running NeoCities and other cones to setup Federation on the back end, potentially bringing all those sites into Fedi at once.
Does that sound interesting?
