@sonya @switchingsocial @pixelfed @funkwhale @GetTogetherComm Could you please explain a bit more detailed what it means that all these applications are built on ActivityPub. Will you be able to see posts from one of these new apps here and comment on it?

@flo

Basically, yes, you will be able to follow people from one platform on another, and comment/like their posts.

You can already follow PeerTube channels on Mastodon (e.g. @blender ). The blogging platforms Plume and @write_as are also already federating.

The range of interactions depends on the platform, for example PixelFed will let you follow Mastodon accounts but will only display posts that have images attached. You'll also be able to follow PF accounts on Mastodon.

@sonya

Agreed! GNUSocial is probably my favourite out of all the microblogging services on ActivityPub (although I'm on Mastodon, I realize how much I miss being able to log in without JS).

Also #Mediagoblin but that hasn't gotten ActivityPub implemented yet.

@arteteco

GT is not federating yet, it's still being worked on. The list is works in progress rather than finished projects.

If you want to try out the cross-platform federation, you can follow PeerTube users from Mastodon, e.g. @blender

PixelFed is also just about to become federated, you can already find some PF users listed on Mastodon.

@switchingsocial

Thanks, I already follow #Plume and #peertube users, I'll be waiting for GT to federate too!
@blender

@luka @switchingsocial @pixelfed @GetTogetherComm I agree that in its current state, Funkwhale is not a replacement for SoundCloud. This is is part of our roadmap to make it more interesting for creators to share their content though!

@funkwhale @switchingsocial @pixelfed @GetTogetherComm this is really great news to hear! I will patiently wait and keep testing and promoting - my next steps include finish uploading everything from my netlabel backcatalogue and add much more from other netlabels and start making public playlists of netaudio 😃
