@operand @yaxu we have a whole Forums task force on the W3C social web community group!

@yaxu for example, check this post out:

Attached: 1 image So I'm improving Article display in Hometown. @julian@community.nodebb.org made this post: https://browser.pub/https://community.nodebb.org/post/105824 `content` and `summary` are ALMOST the same, so my software renders repeated content. I'd like to be able to say "if content and summary are the same, then default to one of them and exclude the other". Now the only difference seems to be a newline, so maybe I just trim whitespace but... thoughts? Is this good use of `summary` by nodebb in the first place? CC @technical-discussion@activitypub.space

Friend Camp (friend.camp)

I tagged the technical-discussion topic on the activitypub.space forum, and from my perspective it got boosted to a bunch of people, and from the forum and forum user's perspective it looks like this:

https://activitypub.space/topic/f7c39a6b-01c5-4934-a3b9-7c08da4cc52f/so-i-m-improving-article-display-in-hometown.

to me this is the real promise of federation, not just a bunch of microblogs on different servers

@yaxu yeah I hear you. I have a lot of hope for things like https://nodebb.org/ -- it is the "forums" model where things are divided into conversations about topics, but critically it ALSO federates. So you-Alex could live on Nodebb as your primary driver, and I could post say a Tidal question and tag @/tidal@some-nodebb.example and then you would see my microblog question/comment on the tidal subforum of the forum you maintain/watch
