Gregory's Server
@liaizon I did and I still don't quite understand how it federates anything. It also makes what has become to me a classical fediverse mistake: discovery is impossible. How do you find a song you're looking for? How do you know what instances there are? The beauty of Durov's VK was that you could just type the title/artist, click play and hear the song. And anyone could upload anything, so all the obscure stuff was there too. Mail.ru ruined it by making it legal, but that's another story.

 @grishka well yes Funkwhale does not solve the global discovery problem. But I dont think anyone has really made a full attempt to tackle that yet. @schmittlauch has a paper about how to do global hashtags search across the fediverse using DHT and hopefully we will see some progress on that front in the coming year. |
@liaizon IMO it's of paramount importance to erase the lines between instances so that cross-instance interactions feel to the user as frictionless as those contained within their home instance.
