@talou @caos @deadsuperhero A nice and good read in this regard comes from the ActivityPub academy: https://seb.jambor.dev/posts/understanding-activitypub-part-2-lemmy/
This explains it very well
@caos
One point on Lemmy. What software best federates with Lemmy? I'm posting this comment from a Mastodon account through Fedilabs. The Lemmy thread is understandable, more or less. Is this only a matter of client and UI?
@deadsuperhero
@root_beer @fediverse I understand the point, but what if there are different needs and use cases? Like a network of schools in a specific region that want to coordinate, interact and share events among them?
@poVoq @geoma This looks interesting. Would you imagine the marketplace as paired to the local listings?
Given that one big problem of the fediverse for business applications so far is discoverability, I imagine to have a federated service that indexes all posts from accounts on that instance, and also has a marketplace. It basically is a federated Etsy? 😳
@CannotSleep420 @geoma What is the currently accepted/perceived use case for federation then?
I personally perceive that the Fediverse is currently appealing to geeks, organizations that look for digital sovereignty or autonomy, curious people looking for something new, die-hard alternatives
@SomeoneSomewhere @geoma Probably it just means that people are on massive platforms like Instagram only because everybody else is there (?)
@geoma @h3ndrik we get back to other issues/problems that are discussed somewhere here around on Lemmy. Striking the balance between autonomy and management costs is always hard. That's why probably there is the need to have a service that helps users get paired with the best software given their needs.
As others are saying, Firefish/Calckey might be interesting in that sense.
(gosh, even Friendica has a relevant concept there, but it is soooo unpolished and not appropriate for business.
@VantaWhite so basically lemmy.world was the default instance for the app you registered your account on?

@rglullis @cabbage In a way, it's just like splitting utility bills with flatmates.
Many instances do the same. They require members to pay at least a (reasonable) minimum amount in a year. This is also well stated since day 0 in their registration form.
