Somewhat recently I learned about tildaverses which if you’re unaware are communities where everyone gets an ssh account on a server to do things like hosts sites or gemini capsules, and access to services like a community IRC server or the ability to host their email there. This kinda got me thinking of community run clouds services with a slightly different approach and I thought I would I would ask Lemmy for their thoughts on how they would build something like that.
My hypothetical thought was something inspired by a tildaverse but a little less technical and a little more utilitarian but still with a community feel to it. Maybe nextcloud? A matrix server? A microblogging platform with activity pub? A blogging platform of some sort? A hosted RSS aggregator? The whole idea being both something that would be a community, but also something that would provide a bunch of your standard services like online notes/word processing, messaging, social media as apposed to hosting it yourself or paying for it with ads or money.
Or maybe you like the idea of a more tildaverse style community with the more classic things like ssh and IRC for the internal community kind of deal? In either case, if you were to build a community like that what would you include and how would you set it up? It’s all just a thought experiment in my case though, I don’t actually intend to set anything up by that, but would just be curious what you all would build and how you would do it if you were to set something up like this?
Sorry for posting this twice, it's a new community largely in the sense that a community a couple of weeks old got nuked alongside the fmhy.ml domain. Cached copy of the old community.
The goal was/is to create a community solely for the sharing & crossposting blog posts (your own or by others, of any genre) that you liked or found insightful. In between creating the original one and now I did find some neat communities like Indie Web, which you should also check. Still the goal here is to make something a bit different in the way I would like to have a community full of only links to blog posts (plus discussions in the comments etc) that could be subscribed to on lemmy or through RSS.
I’d just ask that you avoid blog posts are solely partisan politics, blogs nearly unusable due to ads and such, corporate blogs, and posting things other than blog posts (e.g. news articles). Also, should go without saying, please don’t break FMHY’s rules or your own instance’s rules, and please be nice.
