I've been asking here for #Fediverse instances that are more focused on community building, and y'all have delivered - thank you!
It got me thinking... it's not enough to *know* about these things, folks need to learn how to set these instances up - from git clone to finding a suitable host / port forwarding your home server, to actually maintaining the thing.
Giving some thought to doing some Twitch streams where I struggle through this live.
Would you be down to watch?
Please boost!
@BeAware Looks interesting, but their website doesn't seem to reinforce much of a commitment to open source and self hosting. I had to click through two pages to find their GitHub link buried in a paragraph.
Automattic has me *VERY* wary of this approach to "open source" and "community".
So, #Fediverse: Mastodon is fine and all, and PeerTube and PixelFed have their well deserved fans as well.
But none of these are really good for community organizing.
I'm working on something, but it's taking WAY too much time, and I kind of need something now.
I find Friendica and Lemmy to be... not enough. What I want is federated forum-like threaded conversations - a federated Reddit combined with Facebook thing to get my local schools and stuff off of Facebook.
Suggestions?
