Someone please build a Fediverse-enabled Meetup.com-style application for groups to post events that others can RSVP to.

will talk for elePHPants!

@astrovore Is that Fediverse-based? Didn't see it on the first look...

And if so: Can I get a WordPress plugin to enable that in the Events Plugin?

@astrovore @ramsey there's also gancio.org and gath.io. i like gath.io because it works without an account

Ben Ramsey

@computersandblues @astrovore ganc.io doesn’t resolve for me. gath.io is nice, but it goes in a different direction from what I want to use this for (as an event archive), by deleting events after 7 days.

@ramsey @astrovore sorry, the link is wrong. i updated it!

@ramsey event deletion seems to be an instance specific setting with gath.io:

> But if your community sets up their own instance, you can limit event creation to a specific list of people, display events on a handy list on the homepage, and disable event deletion entirely!

@ramsey I've not seen it mentioned yet, but gath.io/ is open-source, privacy-respecting, has AP integration, and works well for the normies.

May be worth a peek :-)

Ben Ramsey

@ety I’ve tried it in the past, but it’s lacking a number of features I need, and the auto-deletion of events isn’t a feature I want. The groups that would use this want to maintain an historical record of their events.

@ramsey Ah, yeah, very fair. Good luck in your search!

@ramsey I’ve been pointed to gancio.org, joinmobilizon.org/en/, and the list at github.com/coderbyheart/open-s …not all Fedi).

Unfortunately I haven’t had time to research any of them any further, but maybe this gets you started!

@ramsey yeah we've kinda thought about it. CALDAV is a deeply disheartening thing to study lolsob.

@ramsey Smithereen can do this but it's my own ActivityPub extension incompatible with anything else

Ben Ramsey

@grishka Are you planning to make it compatible with ActivityPub?

Gregory

@ramsey what do you mean? It *is* ActivityPub, it just goes way beyond the types and properties commonly used for microblogging. Here's the documentation on my extensions: github.com/grishka/Smithereen/

Ben Ramsey

@grishka By saying it’s “incompatible with anything else,” I thought you meant it wasn’t compatible with anything else that communicates via ActivityPub.

Boo Ramsey 🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♂️👻🎃, here's a comment from my Smithereen server just in case there were any doubts :)

@ramsey This exists in several different projects, but they need to collaborate on one standard way of doing things.

https://joinmobilizon.org https://gancio.org/ https://gath.io/

Friendica and Hubzilla also support this.
