Side project: improve Fediverse interoperability

I’ve made it a side project to improve #Fediverse #interoperability. Currently:

Using multiple platforms of different types:

  • @Mastodon (microblogging/general)
  • @bookwyrm (book reviews and library tracking)
  • @LemmyDev (link sharing/discussion forum)
  • @pixelfed (photos)
  • WordPress+ActivityPub plugin (blogging)

Testing other platforms that fit the same niche as Mastodon:

Finding what does and doesn’t work between them.

Reporting bugs and testcases.

So far it’s been mostly haphazard. I need to start tracking what I have and haven’t tested.

And I’d like to make time to fix some bugs and maybe implement some features too — I just need to carve out the time to dig into some code!

#

I know there are more ActivityPub platforms out there, and I’m sure I’ll try out more of them as time goes on.

For now, though, I don’t want to spread myself too thin on the general platforms, and I don’t have a good personal use case for, say, Funkwhale or Peertube that will make sure I actually keep using it!

#

Is there a general #federation #compatibility matrix somewhere? I would have thought FediDB or SocialHub would be the place to look, but I don’t see anything of the sort on either site.

#

Great, I’m already thinking about setting up a Codeberg repo with just issues and docs linking to each projects’ federation-tagged issues.

C’mon, brain, save it for after work.
