Thinking about the future where Microblogging and link-aggregation sites on the fediverse have grown, how do you see them integrating?

It’s a bit one-directional right now since I don’t think Lemmy has the concept of following people or #topics outside of Lemmy, but mastodon users can follow Lemmy communities and the posts and comments show up fairly nicely.

Do you think the ability to combine those two domains in one interface (even the same timeline) is useful at all?

I’m envisioning a content creator posting a video on peertube and being posted to one of the link-aggregator instances and people commenting on it via Mastodon and all of the comments being able to reference each other no matter where they were posted. I think that’s pretty amazing compared to what we have now where you’re conversation is basically stuck where it was started on the traditional services.

    @jax @eshep It has been a problem for a long time, yes.

    But there are people working on standardizing everything. It’s a fairly recent project, not very big in scope and not very mature. But it’s getting there.

    It’s called FEP (Fediverse Enhancement Proposals) and it’s like RFC for the fediverse.

    You can find the standards here:
    https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/

    And the discussion there:
    https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/c/standards/fep/54

      @jax @eshep

      Socialhub is also running on discourse which is ALSO implementing an ActivityPub plugins, which will be compatible with lemmy! And how do we know that this will be compatible with lemmy? Because they’re following the FEP-1b12!

      You can find them here @feps (the plugin is read-only at the moment)
