Only 10 #activityPub projects have more than 10k users.

Most new projects struggle with getting attention and visibility.

I think bigger projects should play a more pro-active role in acknowledging, and if possible, mentoring new/smaller projects.

@dansup Just recently fallen in love with Pixelfed now that the networks are connected and discover goes beyond your own instance. I'm so looking forward to seeing what you do with it in the future.

@dansup what big projects can do to foster smaller ones is sticking as close as possible to the ActivityPub spec. If not in the activities they produce, at least in the ones they receive.

The biggest problem I see at the moment is that every project is trying to implement the mistakes Mastodon made.

@dansup linking is good, we should make it a strong tradition in #4opens #openweb projects :)

@dansup Great point. Any smaller / upcoming ones you can think of that could use more visibility?

@matt Bonfire, GotoSocial, Bookwyrm are a few off the top of my head.

Still need to add a few to fedidb.org/software

@dansup @matt Bonfire looks really interesting and something I hope can be as good as they are hoping.

True that, but it is hard to maintain all and take the time to discover thé rest. (most libre project are entirely held alive by more or less one people)

time to put some light on worthy things, like
#commonpub
#mobilizon
#bonfire
i also want to see more spot light on bridges made with the fediverse and ways to help regular people move in, not only beard white cis guys with free time, money, and tech literacy

@dansup Is anyone working on a ticktock alternative? Sort of like a hybrid of peertube and pixelfed? Or is pixelfed hoping to fill that space?
