Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Getting started on Fediverse;

founded 5 years ago
MODERATORS
 

Plugins for fediverse platforms.

Where is this up to? Is anyone thinking along these lines?

I've seen @db0 espouse such (eg https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/8581651) (sorry for the tag if annoying).

I've certainly thought of it myself ... because it's a pretty obvious idea for an ecosystem aiming for richness and sustainability.

Seems a perfect fit for reusable moderation tooling too, rather than each new platforms having that trouble.

This is essentially #bluesky 's idea it seems.

@maegul @db0 @fediverse

The most promising project in terms of plugins is Bonfire (they call them extensions)

Forkeys have a plugin system already. I’ve built a few things with it, but usage isn’t widespread, at least outside of Misskey. I wrote a bit about it and created some documentation. (Maegul your name is super familiar, apologies if you already knew about this)

@box464 @db0 @fediverse

I’d forgotten about them (firefish/Misskey plugins) actually (we probably saw each other over on firefish “back in the day”).
