Hi! Another question about lemmy development.

Is lemmy working towards functioning more with discourse, flarum and nodebb federations?

I think that mastodon kinda fucked the fediverse and having a costellation of linked forums is much more powerful than microblogging so i’m interested in using lemmy as a forum more than a simple link aggregator

    It’s nice that everyone seems to be consolidating on one de facto standard for social media

      ActivityPub unfortunately does need some work, and there’s drama about properly following the protocol and not extending it with non-standard stuff that then breaks things when federating with stuff outside the given application.

      I’m optimistic, but I’m also making sure not to put too much of a stake in it, as it may eventually become an inferior system when compared to some future hypothetical standard.

      And other standards like diaspora and ATProto, are around, and seeing use.
