I should tag @deadsuperhero ... even though that is out of scope for We Distribute, others that cover #The_Federation, the #Fediverse, and other federated networks may see this through Sean.
So i'd love followed tags to be federated across pods in the federation network. We do have the relay feature for that but I'm not really satisfied with it. So I opened https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora_federation/issues/103 with a protocol change suggestion.
I'd love to know how #mastodon deals with that subject, are tags federated? If yes, how does that work? @Gargron
last months user statistics of #thefederation any bets on how long the recent #fediverse boomlet may last this time? one time i want to see that history doesn't repeat itself as always after #facebook takes a pratfall. is there a way to keep this new users?
What does this mean? Well, it would be nice to take in a few more maintainers to ensure the site code gets some desperately needed improvements, for example. There are several things that have been requested by community members which I (Jason Robinson) haven't had time to implement due to work ongoing with #Socialhome.
My personal wish would be to make The-Federation.info even more into a nice landing page for all #TheFederation / #Fediverse projects. This would mean not being constrained to just following servers running the #Diaspora protcol, but also including servers from #ActivityPub and #OStatus side, for example. The information is available out there, if not in exactly the same format, at least to some level.
If you are a #federated social web enthusiast, possibly even a maintainer of one of these projects and interested in improving the site, please get in touch, for example by replying here or chatting on FreeNode #thefederation channel, or directly to me. Please don't use private messages since those are not supported by this account yet.
@forteller yes, that was *the* original instance of StatusNet. Then Evan wrote pump.io, did *not* implement OStatus in it, and unilaterally reinstalled identi.ca on it.
@kodo my point is, this should not matter. Each project should be a good citizen of the #Fediverse / #TheFederation and implement some otehr protocol, because we're trying to fight Network Effect and that's the only way - is all I'm saying.
