I am interested in people’s view on the value of “bundled” federated services offerings. I have seen that most new fediverse offerings, like Lemmy or Mastodon, usually start with the first instance being the most popular, and then a scattering of self hosted instances.

At the same time I have run across a couple of projects that offer a range of services to members like email, chat and VPN. Specifically these two:

I was wondering if people thought there was a space for something similar in the fediverse. An organization that offers a range of fedi applications: mastodon, lemmy, etc… to members of its community.

    At our 1st meetup in the SocialHub ActivityPub for Administrations event, an interest was expressed from the netCommons Horizon 2020 project to extend their activities to the Fediverse.

    netCommons

    “netCommons is a Horizon2020 research project, which follows a novel transdisciplinary methodology on treating network infrastructure as commons, for resiliency, sustainability, self-determination, and social integration.”

    They have some very interesting things on their website, like this Hands-On Guide on Community Networks.

    I have invited them to join Fediverse Futures discussion on the SocialHub forum.
