It looks really cool! I’m going to be buying a new keyboard eventually and I really want one with a rotary knob. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one.

Wouldn’t it be prudent to build features into Lemmy that make it easy for admins to manage user data though?

I’ve been following BlueSky closely for a while and I’ll just add a few points here:

1. There is currently a federation sandbox for developers, it’s definitely on the way but it is a significantly different model than AP. Severs are really “dumb” and it has an emphasis on using a handful of services to crawl the network and generate a pipeline of all posts.

2. Moderation and custom algorithms are also a part of the decentralized model. Custom algorithms are out now, and custom moderation services are also under development.

Having played with both AP and ATP a fair amount they definitely both have strengths and weaknesses, very different approaches to decentralized social networking.

I asked this in the original thread but I’ll repeat it here:

1. Are there any limitations with the ActivityPub protocol you find limiting? Do you have recommendations for future versions of the protocol?

2. Do you have any thoughts on the AT Protocol (a potential competitor to AP)?

Have you found any limitations or pain points related to the ActivityPub protocol? Are their improvements you would like to see to the spec?

EDIT: On a related note, do you have any thoughts on the AT Protocol?

It has to also work on other OS’s though, right?? It’s priced quite reasonably, I wonder what the build quality is like?
