I had a great time at Day 1 of Fediforum today. An online "unconference" where the attendees create the agenda and organize their own sessions.
There were a lot of sessions on different topics. I wish I could attend them all.
One of the sessions that I participated in was about the threadiverse, which includes platforms that use threaded conversations, such as forums, discussion boards, and Facebook-style social media platforms.
Since our platforms are more feature-rich than microblogging platforms, we have slightly different needs when it comes to federating with different platforms, and the Mastodon way of federating doesn't necessarily work for us. So we have to come up with some way to be compatible with Mastodon, but still support federating the advanced features that Mastodon doesn't have.
We created an informal working group, and I look forward to participating in it.
