That’s pretty cool. Does this mean that if I have my own Nextcloud server, that I’ll have my own fedi ID ready to go? Will it be an ‘app’ within Nextcloud? It’s own instance?

I wish to know this too!
- poVoq ( @poVoq@slrpnk.net ) 4•2 years ago
Yes an app, has been available for years: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/social
- altair222 ( @altair222@beehaw.org ) 3•2 years ago
Seems like it has stopped being supported

You already have a Fedi id. It’s @electric_nan . Lemmy is part of the Fediverse.

So this nextcloud feature will just be a client? Not a server? Sorry if I’m missing something. I do have trouble sometimes grokking the implicatiins of the fediverse.

It’s gonna be a server, and lemmy is also a server, both are servers 💁🏻♀️

So myserver.com/nextcloud is gonna be an activitypub instance, and I can make a user on it like @electric_nan2@myserver.com That’s what I’m asking.

This is incredibly good news for the ‘Fediverse’!

always great to have more fediverse options!

Yes it federated using ActivityPub protocol. It was only in alpha release though when I last used it, and it broke with one of the upgrades. I’m wondering if it has matured yet to a V1 and if others are finding it stable now?

The article mentions it will be better later this year:
Nextcloud Social is available as an alpha version for earlier releases, with an update to Hub 3 coming soon. The team at Nextcloud is working with the community to add new features and give users a way out of the Big Tech sandbox. We will make the updated Nextcloud Social a default part of Nextcloud later this year.

Ugh, that has been available for years and was so far in a very sorry state. Maybe they want to give it a major overhaul for NC 26, but I am not holding my breath.
- Canard ( @Canard@sopuli.xyz ) 6•2 years ago
They did an overhaul specifically because of Musk according to their blog:
That is why we began working on Nextcloud Social, to make sure there would be a credible alternative by the time the deal closed.

Nextcloud Social, nice! Although developing and improving current features for actual cloud storage would be nicer!
