Three months ago I submitted a post to the #Rust sub-reddit called 'Building a better /r/rust together' wherein I hailed #Lemmy as a fitting successor.
Today we have 3 moderately active Rust spaces on the threadiverse. To counteract community fragmentation we need the ability for #ActivityPub groups (Lemmy community or #Kbin magazine) to follow other groups.
Help needed from fedi-curious Rust developer out there: Implement FEP-d36d for Lemmy!
@RookieNerd it’s a way for sub-communities within an ActivityPub instance to federate with other subs of the same kind.
If mysite.com/c/art subscribes to yoursite.com/c/art and a new post is made on yoursite, that post will be federated to mysite as well, as the same post rather than a separate cross-post as is now the case on the #threadiverse if I want to share some news about the fediverse with the different /fediverse subs.
It makes distributed common-topic conversation less fragmented.
@erlend This is a super cool approach! So, you would expect this to work as an "hashtag", let's say?
I am working on bringing WordPress in the Fediverse game and this kind of ideas are wonderful
@RookieNerd@erlend We are about to launch 1.0.0 in the next few weeks: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub#100 and plan to release it on WordPress.com afterwards. That is the short term plan. I think one of the next big features will be full comment-federation (in both directions) and domain-forwarding (for users that switch the domain of their site).
