The problem with federated web apps

• matrix.to

  251 860 4.4 JavaScript

  A simple stateless privacy-protecting URL redirecting service for Matrix

  

Matrix tries to solve this with matrix.to (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.to), which will eventually hopefully segue into a separate matrix:// protocol in URIs.

• Lemmy

  1,603 12,803 9.8 Rust

  🐀 A link aggregator and forum for the fediverse

  

There’s an open issue on Lemmy’s GitHub about making it easier to combine multiple communities on separate instances: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

Seems like something they’re thinking about solving.

• solid

  117 8,173 0.0 HTML

  Solid - Re-decentralizing the web (project directory) (by solid)

  

Tim Berners-Lee's Solid project is working on that. Put data in "pods" that are stored on pod servers, which are federated. You can self-host.

It could be a federated layer of identity & personal content decoupled from social platforms.

• matrix-spec-proposals

  48 948 7.5

  Proposals for changes to the matrix specification

  

We’re currently working on account portability (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/401...) and experimenting with glueing bluesky style DIDs onto it (so as to provide DMs for bluesky via Matrix, should they want them)

• Peergos

  33 1,859 9.3 Java

  A p2p, secure file storage, social network and application protocol

  

You might be interested in the p2p design of Peergos. You sign up to Peergos[0]. Your initial server is just responsible for storing your data (although you can run as many live mirrors as you like), and clients verify all updates. You can automatically move server (by running a command) and all your data is moved, and old links continue to work, and you keep your social graph and identity.

You can also log in through any instance, including localhost. Links also work on any server because they include a capability to the content in the link.

This is the beauty of content addressing plus public key based addressing.
