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

I never got into mastodon because I couldn't connect multiple instances. I like this a lot about Lemmy so far (just here for a few minutes though).

Reading about the fediverse got me thinking. What other use cases could you think of? Maybe outside social media?

Would a fediverse password manager be more or less secure than some company owned pm?

How about "clones" of other social media like FB and Insta, TikTok?

What about a blogging community like Medium?

Other ideas?

I'd like to see a GitHub clone for the Fediverse that enabled the cross-instance forking of code. The recent goings-on with the FOSS Invidious make me worry about the future of all open-source software that tries to allow us some level of privacy. Putting it on a distributed network would be extremely beneficial to prevent megacorps from bullying such projects out of existence.

Its still early. It needs time to mature.
