RE: Hive + Fediverse: A Match Made in Decentralized Heaven? (Or Maybe Not?)

in #developmentlast month

thanks Steve. I'm currently reading into this https://maho.dev/2024/02/a-guide-to-implementing-activitypub-in-a-static-site-or-any-website-part-3/ and will try to setup an experiment asap.

Sort:  

Even if it just allows people to follow Hive accounts without signing up it's useful. Feeding comments back will be harder.

I still use RSS to follow various blogs and I know there was a way to create various types of feed from Hive. We need these options.

so maybe a dedicated server translating:

  • feed.hive.blog/@steevc.rss to rss/xml feed
  • fedi.hive.blog/@steevc for fediverse so one can follow hive posts via mastodon and other supported softwares?

what do you think @hivetrending?

This is doable. Lets see what volunteers appear, but over the next few months we definitely could help, especially if its open source

I posted on Mastodon about this idea. Got the sort of response I would expect from one guy. Some are real open source, anti-blockchain, anti-'AI' purists. I think we have to be open minded to some degree about alternative concepts. I may not be the best salesperson for Hive.

HiveToday is permanently suspended from Mastodon. And on 3/20 (Hive day) of all days!

I know you were one of our biggest fans there. A post is coming soon.

It's time for us to find a new home in the Fediverse.

Sorry to hear that. Which server was it? Another may be friendlier, but we have to be aware of the anti-crypto sentiments of some people there.

It was Mastodon.social

I'm on a UK one. I know some people run their own, but I don't really want to take on that extra work. Someone could run a Hive-friendly one, but there is a risk that others will not federate to it. We need to work on improving relations between Hive and the Fediverse :)

oh well.... you did great :)

Great ideas! Unfortunately I have no available time at the moment to commit to helping with this project.
