Applications, social media interfaces, instances, Iβm not sure what the correct word is π .
Pretty much title!
Nostr. Itβs a decentralized protocol working with relays and no instances.
Its filled with cryptobros and libertarians. Its a cesspool I wouldnβt touch with a 10 foot pole.
Something thatβs often overlooked as being federated: Nextcloud.
How exactly does federation on Nextcloud work? I use a hosted Nextcloud instance but itβs just an OneDrive alternative for me.
I think itβs through the nextcloud social app, I havenβt installed it though because my nextcloud is slow enough without it
Edit: just checked and it has mostly negative reviews and itβs listed as beta
What are the common attributes between each app that allows them to be federated with each other? Users, a post with multimedia support (images, links, maybe videos), a comment thread, and what else? Can an app deviate completely from this user/post/comment model and still be federated? Do each app need to manually integrate with another app to be considered federated or is any app using ActivityPub automatically integrated to your app?

ActivityPub provides the framework, but a platform also has to be designed to support another platform. Itβs not automatic.
Very neat, thanks for sharing! What do the dotted lines between non-Fediverse protocols and Fediverse platforms represent? Do those platforms use multiple protocols?
