  • I’ve had an idea, that I could easily pivot to this and become a FOSS solution. But, I wonder if it actually solves a problem. Essentially, I wanted my lemmy instance to allow sign-ups. But, the posts and channels were auto-generated. So when you log into the app or sign-up it creates a community in the instance along with it. (loom.nyc/c/pexavc) and then all the posts are automatically generated from the posts you save anywhere in the fediverse. (The app supports lemmy and mastodon for now). But, this would also allow all your bookmarks to essentially “federate”.

    Edit: Tbh, it sounds like a more “silent” cross-posting










  • Yeah. Have been thinking of this exact scenario. How to create solutions around anything that might “filter” while respecting the worldviews of all. I feel the best approach so far, is if filters are to be implemented. It should never be a 1 all be all and should always be “a toggle”. Ultimately respecting the user’s freedom of choice while providing the best quality equipment to utilize effectively when needed











  • I have been mapping out a possible way to do this. Pickling and scattering frames across the network, coupled with a client that stitches and buffers into a video. Whereas the manifest for each frame hash is compiled and stored separately.

    I feel such a service is definitely possible. As for consumer/product worthiness I feel the other comments kind of covers the variables as to why you probably haven’t found a strong solution yet to streaming.

    I definitely feel it is growing or at least it’s still in active development. I feel a lot of people either haven’t grasped it yet (aside from the NFT craze) or are not fond of the process of deleting content stored onto the network. Also a true real-time experience would require some more research on latency.
