For a bit now I’ve been thinking of starting a small classic style of forum, using the top forum software (to my knowledge at least — xenForo) and writing a custom extension for it to add ActivityPub to it

Idk, I’ve realized that I don’t have a whole lot of time to keep up with live chat communities (like Discord, etc) so I started throwing the forum idea around

The decoys story I believe got animated by Qxir on YouTube

I’ve clicked on ads (primarily Instagram actually) because it is an ad that is for a product or service I was actually looking for but didn’t have the time/knowledge to actually go searching for it

Seems like a good small coding project if you’re up to that

I’d recommend setting up a Matrix server with Element

E2E encrypted text & voice calls (I believe unless they’re still doing the rewrite of e2e voice calls)

Matrix info: https://matrix.org Synapse server install: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html Synapse TURN (voice) install: https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/turn-howto.html

Edit: calls also work on mobile (hooks into native mobile calling apis to look very similar to a normal phone call)

All my servers are named after colors

Then my vms are ingredients to an omelette

I ran into this issue while working on Canvas, Lemmy DMs do not properly federate with other softwares (like Mastodon)
