Separately, it's worth addressing the fact that developer conversations do take place on the fediverse. It happens organically all the time, because like I said above, all activitypub developers are on the fediverse. The problem here is that the de facto implementation is Mastodon, and the conversations taking place on Mastodon are by design ephemeral. Arguments can be made that Mastodon does keep a copy of all of the conversations, and one need only look for them, but they're buried in such a way as to be essentially lost to history forever. You've probably tried looking for something you or someone else said, and started scrolling a profile feed endlessly looking for it... don't lie, we've all done it. This is where we can throw technology at the problem... by building really good search, we can mitigate some of these losses. However this relies on people to actually use the search functionality, which is hard to guarantee Another solution is proper categorization of content... and this is where you'll say I have a bias. I certainly do! I'm a purveyor of forum software... the age old way of communicating online where stuff gets categorized and organized topically. To add this layer of human organization on top gets us that much closer to ensuring that the discussions we have and the discoveries we make are not simply lost to time, but preserved for future developers to re-discover and re-consume. cc fediversereport@mastodon.social julian@activitypub.space

lepertti@mastodon.gamedev.place yes! That's what I did with NodeBB. The main things you need for that are the content discovery pieces, otherwise you're broadcasting only.

dansup@mastodon.social I recommend you implement my FEP which includes Tombstone behaviour

silverpill@mitra.social there was! I am very bad with putting together minutes but I will put some together tomorrow (hopefully) For cross posting essentially I outlined how Piefed does it, and how NodeBB hopes to do it differently, but there are some moderation concerns. Will elaborate more in the minutes.

@julian Also, speaking of fixable deficiencies, my edits here don't seem to propagate to SocialHub . Without knowing the code I'm confident it's fixable because my edits did propagate to the NodeBB thread at https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18932/final-thoughts-re-fedicon-2025/14 , great to see!

pfefferle@mastodon.social oh interesting! > We’ve also made it easier to follow people from other sites. When you click “Follow” on someone else’s blog, you’ll now be taken to your own site to complete it. It keeps things simple and familiar, even when you start following someone from another site. How do you know the user pressing the button has a WordPress site?

@pfefferle Wow, danke für das super Video! Für mich ist das Fediverse noch ganz neu, hab jetzt mein Blog föderiert und mir einen Account bei Mastodon erstellt. Fühle mich noch etwas verloren, aber bin überzeugt auf dem richtigen Weg zu sein

Kommt echt an Ich bin verblüfft LOL
