RTR#30 Monthly Recap and Planned Next Steps (kbin.social)

Today, I added a box of related/random collections - I must admit that the ones you created are fantastic. Collection names can be repeated since they are user-assigned. I added the option to mark a collection as official - those with the highest number of followers in a given topic and with a specific name can be marked and...

I noticed today when setting up a "Fediverse" collection, that another collection already existed with that name. When I went to view my collection, it was showing the other /fediverse collection instead. I changed my name to "FediNews" and that cleared it up.

So, going to https://kbin.social/u/box464/c/Fediverse goes to the other /fediverse collection - actually it still does! Not sure how that is happening since I don't have that name reserved now.

Elk, the Mastodon web client, has an excellent development setup with good documentation and solid leadership. There's lots of little fediverse startups. I've submitted some pull requests to Postmarks, a federated bookmark manager. It's very early stages and fun to be part of that!

Idea: Fediverse community/"subreddit" explorer (kbin.social)

A problem many have realized is that there are many /tech, /gaming etc. communities in different instances/servers. There is already https://fediverse.observer/ , so I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a service that periodically roams the fediverse, checks for example the last 100,000 submissions of each (or top 100 active...

What I’m looking for is lists or collections that I can create or the admin of the instance creates that combines common topics into a digest of subs. Then I just browse one digest on a topic rather than having to go through each separately.

Having Kbin and Lemmy instances use a common catalog of topic identifiers so they can be easily coalesced would be helpful, too.

If you follow their lab, wip and their weekly updates (changes), you can see things being rolled out at a snails pace that are required for a fully fledged fediverse platform.

Polling, self moderation, notifications, etc. but it’s taking a looooong time…and there’s really no incentive for their devs to invest time in it, right? Because I won’t be seeing ads if I view tumblr content from my Kbin client for example.

I’m still having a hard time understanding why meta cares either. More audience for branded / sponsored posts?
