@dansup maybe I can inspire you with this idea to turn discovery around. Instead of saying "I am maintainer of a list and you can 'PR' entries to it" why not say "broadcast what you have, so that anyone interested in it can easily discover it"? This is the idea of the #Murmurations protocol, a sort of PubSub based on linked data profiles, that would lend itself excellently for federation, and has numerous use cases. https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/federating-the-murmurations-protocol/1701 3 comments

@dansup I feel this can be a generic #Fediverse service. Anyone can spin up a federated pubsub index server. Everyone can create linked data Profiles of things to subscribe to. And everyone can create an instance of any Profile with stuff they want to publish, which then spread around the fedi and get aggregated by anyone interested in them. This would go way beyond #RSS as Profiles have rich metadata on which to subscribe. Embed Profile snippets in your static site and have #js publish it..

@humanetech Yes! That in on our roadmap, not just for the generic fediverse service aspect, but also because having the guide offline, or otherwise in your own possession will make it even more useful and valuable. |

@humanetech Exactly! We use something similar for our discovery features.
The exception is clients, projects and mobile apps, they remain pretty constant so we maintain our own lists with a schema that is used by the frontend.
We also have an open API and we gladly accept changes using our web forms or you can submit a change request via ActivityPub using a specially formatted direct message.
