Collaborate with SocialHub ActivityPub community #4

Open aschrijver opened 3 years ago

aschrijver commented 3 years ago

I was made aware of this repository by @sebilasse post on the SocialHub community forum in Using ActivityPub for Podcasting Comments thread, and I just added you to the ActivityPub Developer Resources Watchlist that I co-maintain (there's also an AP application watchlist.

I highly, highly recommend you and other interested members of Podcastindex join our community, and I hereby invite you to become members. An issue on the fediverse that we need to overcome is dispersed development of ActivityPub-related interoperability projects, where valuable knowledge and insights continue to be stuck in 'siloed' federated app projects, and specification initiatives like yours.

On SocialHub we can be stronger together (see also the Spiral Island analogy), and various podcasting projects have either already joined (e.g. Castopod) or shown interest to join our community. Other media platforms like Peertube and Owncast are also participating.

PS. As feedback to this repo I'd like to recommend adding some more related links and explainer text to the README and to consider adding a license document (even though this repo may be meant as temp workspace). Some repo topic labels for findability would be great too (e.g. 'activitypub', 'podcasting', 'specification', etc.)

PS2. As you will close this issue at certain time, maybe you'd consider mentioning SocialHub community forum in the README. Podcasting related topics can be marked with the #podcasting forum tag.

Excellent. Would you also be able to join us at podcastindex.social, or follow some of us there from your own instance? It’s be nice to have some interaction as we discuss over there a lot as well.

I’m @dave@podcastindex.social

Probably not personally. I am involved with too many projects and voluntary community work to do so. But I encourage you to post invitations to join, participate in events and tell us about all kinds of developments related to federated podcasting in our forum. You can use the 'Fediversity' category and subcategories for that. When I am aware of relevant stuff I also toot or boost on fedi using @humanetech@mastodon.social
