Lemmy but with the resources to host video

Lemmy

It just needs more users and it's perfect.

I really liked RES on reddit and I still miss some of those capabilities like

  • tagging good and bad users so that you know them in the future. You could color code them to know instantly if you thought they were bots, trolls, or friends easily.
  • to put my favorite subs at the top to go to them instantly
  • the multi-subreddit feature
  • being able to see between comment threads easily. Right now, the quote bar gets mixed up with the thread bars and there is no separator between them, on RES I could have a thick line if I wanted.

Other than these UI issues, I love Lemmy.

A wiki with strong moderation tools, and gnupg signed/verified text built into it from the start.

An activitypub method to keep git repos in sync automatically.

A small blog type tool that's used as a replacement for facebook. It would have a hosted "gathering" component that is always online, then when you open your local app, it pulls down all your stuff.

Shared secrets like a distributed KeePass or Bitwarden.

Distributed home directory and/or development environments.

Something like the useful bits from KeyBase. I really wanted keybase to be something that could support this use case: Alice@foo gets a dev job at Bar. Her ID is added to the cool_project@bar group and automatically she has access to all the group's ~~big~~ bug tracking, file shares, wiki, git repos, group chats, etc. Her joining the group is recorded in a permanent record, which can be publicly or privately annotated by people specifically allowed by the group she joined. It'd become an automatic resume.

I'd really like to see some client-API consolidation. A common client API that could efficiently handle both "microblog" style and threaded discussions (lemmy etc) and leave the door open for other discussion formats too. This would allow for clients/frontends to flourish even more and backends could compete on features and efficiency. The backend specific features could be expressed through an extension mechanism of the common API.

I feel like something like that would need to be discussed at the standards level; a common API spec could maybe be issued as an extension of the current ActivityPub standard. Call it "CommonSocial", or something.

Peertube but not written in JavaScript

It exists, it's Firefish, it has everything I need.
