ok great thanks for pointing to this. But that would mean crosspublishing on a "fedified" copy instead of having a single point of data access? or "earmarking" certain content to become available on the fedified feed?
Re: lite accounts: thanks for pointing out the link to inleo's fossing. Not certain how I should read: "a lot easer would be to simply promote signups"? a lot easier then what exactly? Trying to fully grasp what you mean here...
To tldr; I was thinking of having Hive content become natively available in third party Mastodon (and the likes) fediverse enabled applications, in order to have those users be able to follow Hive users' content,,,
What I want to see the most is a larger number of HIVE users. More users will naturally lead to more investments and exposure for HIVE. There is a reason most startups focus on user acquisition as a top priority. Most people are too lazy to post the same content on multiple places. What I would like to see is an easy way to copy HIVE posts to other places automatically.
I think @dbuzz had this feature where Buzzes could get posted to Twitter automatically by clicking on a check box when posting. This is relatively easy to implement compared to an interoperable system with Fediverse. Even if this was built, what is the likelihood of these Fediverse users start playing @splinterlands or endgame with other DAPPs that are not social media?
Increasing the the number of MAU on HIVE should be our most important KPI IMHO. Getting users to create a HIVE account and start using the DAPPs is paramount. INLEO has been the biggest onboarder so far because their onboarding process can be as easy as using any Web 2 project.
Sharing some HIVE content on Fediverse + Twitter and telling people that they can start earning and playing games using their existing Web 2 account (Google + Twitter) or Keystore wallet is easier than creating a bridge between Fediverse and HIVE. One of the problems with INLEO was that other DAPPs could not use their signup method. Withe their ongoing FOSS efforts, it should be possible for any HIVE front, games etc. to allow almost anyone to be a part of HIVE.
Having to learn about Keychain and managing keys is easily the biggest barrier I have had with onboarding users to HIVE. What is the point of having security when there are no funds to secure in the first place. We need to get out of our ivory towers and allow normies to "just use" HIVE and "recommend" them self custody the same way we recommend hardware wallets.
INLEO was working on enabling signups for multiple blockchain wallets. This is the best case as users have self custody. Those who already have cryptocurrency wallets, but not a part of HIVE should be the easiest to onboard.
Think of any moment where you joined a new blockchain and started exploring the DAPPs because you could easily add it to your MetaMask (or similar) wallet.
answer it seems there is easier onboarding on the roadmap / in the works. you are very right that those whomever already working with metamask or phantom should easily be able to be onboarded :)thank you for your extensive answer. as I can decrypt from @gandalf's
For the time being, it would be great to have Keystore support for more DAPPs. There should be at least a million people who already have a Keystore.I saw from @howo's meeting summary that MetaMask support is in progress. Since INLEO is working on few more wallets with a FOSS release on the way, it would be definitely possible to see some collaboration and rapid development.
