#activitypub based Link Aggregation app is coming really soon! 🤠
@prismo oh YES! I can stop whining about no reddit replica! Anything and non-programmer can do to help?
@prismo Also, do you think it would be a good idea to make instances in to "subreddits"? That's kind of what I've dreamed of having.
@ninmi that's an excellent question and i can't stop thinking about it for last few days. The dillema is if we should treat each instance entirely as a single subreddit or if we rather should allow instances to have multiple "subreddits" (it's called a "group" in a activitypub jargon) ... i think it's gonna be the latter with admin option to run instance in a "single-group" mode
@prismo I do strongly believe the former would encourage decentralization and give it meaning. It would make good use of it, much like Mastodon does by advertizing instances as communities.
Then again, maybe there are better ways to encourage decentralization without forcing it, possibly hindering adoption of the platform. Perhaps instances will naturally gravitate towards a single topic?
Either way, thanks for your work!
I think on federated systems you can follow all instances with a single account?
