@We Distribute To everyone who comes across this and doesn't know what nomadic identity is:

I've explained it in the Join the Fediverse Wiki.

@jupiter_rowland @hello After a cursory investigation, I get the impression that nomadic identity is in its infancy:

• it seems to be tied to Hubzilla and (streams)
• it doesn't seem to have a spec
• it seems to be implemented only in PHP

I'm happy to be corrected!

It's hard to know whether nomadic identiy is a tiny niche thing that'll stay that way or something that's going to be huge. Of course, I hope for the latter.

@jupiter_rowland @hello There's the beginnings of a nomad protocol spec here, but it's very thin: https://codeberg.org/streams/streams/src/commit/11f5174fdd3dfcd8714974f93d8b8fc50378a193/spec/Nomad/Home.md

@jupiter_rowland @hello It was pointed out there are some FEPs linked by https://wedistribute.org/2024/03/activitypub-nomadic-identity/

These seem a little "quiet", but maybe there'll be more activity on that front in the coming days/weeks/months.
