Reminds me of when Aeris Irides tried to connect (streams) (2021's umpteenth fork-of-a-fork of 2010's Friendica, to dumb it down) and OpenSimulator (free, open-source server application for 3-D virtual worlds very similar to Second Life, est. 2007, interconnected 2008).
Okay, this wasn't to go as far as federating the OpenSim local chat or even only the OpenSim in-world instant messaging system via ActivityPub because both (streams) and OpenSim were to remain untouched. So you couldn't post from OpenSim to Mastodon or vice versa.
But the planned features included
Nothing came out of this, though. The HoloNeon (streams) instance is gone the HoloNeon grid is gone, and Aeris has moved to another OpenSim grid.
So neither the idea of interweaving the Metaverse with the Fediverse is new, nor is the free, open, decentralised Metaverse.
I don't think it's wise to start a Lemmy community and then ask for other people to moderate it while being absent for weeks myself.
In case you haven't read, I'm not primarily a Lemmy user. I'm mostly on Hubzilla and second-mostly on (streams). It may actually occur that I'm not on Lemmy for multiple weeks in a row.
Also, I don't really want to take care of rules and that stuff.
Let's try this here before it gets its own post somewhere.
That is, I have a growing suspicion that even here in a community that specialises in the Fediverse, hardly anyone can relate to it, and out in the meme communities, nobody will even understand it.
It's basically like a Hubzilla channel which, in turn, is somewhat like a Friendica account. Which, again, is very vagely like a Mastodon account.
To my best knowledge, you can't follow individual accounts outside the Threadiverse on Lemmy.
In addition, (streams) has recently switched to decentralised IDs as per FEP-ef61. This could be the reason why Lemmy can't find my (streams) channels, but it can find my Hubzilla channels: It doesn't understand DIDs.
It would just either have to be on a server that also offers all server applications covered by the Web client so that everything has the same domain.
Or you would have to tell people to register accounts on foo.social, bar.social and/or baz.social, but the Web UI is on qux.social. Bit confusing for newbies who only knew centralised silos five minutes ago.
Here's some stuff that I'd meme about:
Granted, I guess almost all of this will fly even over most c/Fediverse users' heads due to how detached Lemmy is from the rest of the Fediverse. But I don't really expect that many more Mastodon users to understand it, and those who do may be offended. Oh well.
I've started a new (streams) channel for Fediverse memes, but I thought Lemmy could be another, even better place to post them.
I've already posted two creations of mine there, One does not simply implement FEP-ef61 with very extensive explanations and What if I told you the Fediverse is not only Mastodon? with only one link to explain it. I'm still trying to find the right amount of explanation for an audience that shall be mostly on Mastodon.
Beyond that, I've got loads of ideas. But I don't want to post more of them here than on (streams). So I'll first have to define my way of posting them on (streams) to what will be a largely Mastodon audience in a way that satisfies Mastodon's accessibility requirements the best. I hope to speed up my meme-posting rate then.
No time to run and moderate it. I'm not primarily a Lemmy user, I'm mostly on Hubzilla and (streams). It can happen that I'm absent from Lemmy for weeks.
