Over the years, I've been studying a handful of different fediverse platforms that bring a lot of interesting concepts to the table.
As someone that has studied and [reported on](https://wedistribute.org/) the developments of these various systems, I've decided to put together a summary of things I'd like to one day put into my own federated platform, should I ever develop enough brainpower to actually develop one.
In 2018, a platform was launched to build an open, decentralized web for videos. In 2021, the network is still struggling to grow. I take a look into some of the problems with content discovery, along with some small suggestions for instance admins.
An overview of a new federated GoodReads alternative, powered by ActivityPub. It's awesome, and I'm really excited about it!

toPeertube@lemmy.ml•If you're a creator on PeerTube, share your channel!0•3YMy account is dsh_videos@video.deadsuperhero.com; right now there are three separate channels attached:
- Vlogs (vlogs@video.deadsuperhero.com) - personal vlog entries, not super exciting, but some people are into the more personable side of video communities.
- Interviews (interviews@video.deadsuperhero.com - I’ve been involved in a number of interviews, many of which involve the fediverse. I keep a running archive of the ones I’ve been able to successfully preserve.
- Browser History (browser_history@video.deadsuperhero.com - an upcoming show in the works, focused on the history of technology, communities, and movements.
I think PeerTube has really come along as a project, but I think it's caught in a situation where the technical aspects are advancing far faster than the communal ones. In order for PeerTube to actually succeed in practice, I believe that creators ought to reach out to one another to create a type of loose community where we actually follow each other, comment on each other's stuff, etc, kind of like YouTube's early years.
Pixelfed is a federated alternative to Instagram that's been developing all kinds of awesome new features in the past year. Here's a look
