Adding another link if there is any interest https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/faqs
I'd like to make this flow a public document, as a visual aid to crowdsource putting pieces together for a community server.
the big pictures is a few projects, public and private and will hopefully allow others to follow and create their own as we go. I'd like to collaborate on what would be a solid system that a single or small group could put together and duplicate. Every aspect should be discussed, debated, and voted on. Best practices adapted and short comings pointed out. I'd like it to be open source and integrate together in some fashion. We can break into fine details over time. This is a long term hobby project, not an all in one weekend project.
I think the first items to discuss are
- Any Interest?
- How to host this Flow - currently on Github
- How to post the progress in segments so not a mega thread
- Which flow software would work the best and give all people on all devices the ability to view/edit - currently on diagrams.net
Items down the road
- other Fediverse items to incorporate
- Hardware to run it all
- How to manage access so the community can all participate
Posting a link to this in https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted as its probably in their wheel house as well
Any tips or advice on a guide that walks new people through retro communities? Something along the lines of, what older systems are still in use, which are seeing a resurgence, or have been adapted to modern needs. I’d like to brainstorm a way to help people connect and create the feel of the older systems with the options available from the fediverse.
Where would you like us to go? This is a new community on a relatively new medium and your input/questions are appreciated.
I'm sure someone will post the specifics of how to initiate a search and "link" your instances, I use a browser (mobile and PC) on the Lemmy site and click communities to see what's "connected/federated". In the interim as someone else also adjusting to the change, remember to give it time. Its a newer medium and most of us are just coming here flooding it. It will grow and improve and "connect".
I think we all have to get used to the withdrawal from being force fed SO much information and garbage that the fear of missing out and small quantities of content are creating cyclical anxiety. Am I doing this right? What am I missing? where is my content? Why is there not more content? Am I doing this right?...etc.
Good Luck, Welcome! and I'll save this message as well to come back and see if there has been a clear way described.
