Pretty much in the title. Maybe you wouldn't even use it, but would like to simply see it exist for the sake of having a federated alternative.

For me, it'd be the following:

  • LinkedIn
  • Meetup
  • Tiktok

I am on the first two, but would prefer a federated alternative. I'm not on Tiktok, but would like to see a federated alternative.

I'll admit these might not be a good idea. But as a thought experiment, I'd be curious about the community weigh in on what you all think this might look like.

A video platform would be great. Like TikTok, or stories from Facebook, Insta or YT.

[-] PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social 4 points 9 months ago

YouTube already has that, it's called PeerTube.

Is it federated? Or is it just a solo version for anybody who wants their own solo bandcamp?

[-] TadeuszBonawentura@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

AFAIK it is in beta but developer planned or already implemented federation. If I'm wrong, I think @freebliss could correct me.

@TadeuszBonawentura @z3rOR0ne @small44 It's more the "your own solo bandcamp" thing to paraphrase @sentient_loom. From the technical side, given it's a static site generator, it can not technically act as a server for anything, including federation. It could act as an activity pub client technically, but it's an open research question how that could be interesting. So for now no plans and no implementation, but I'm keeping tabs on ActivityPub and at least thinking about possible directions.

Uber, Uber Eats (similar to Wolt)

A shared whiteboard. Something like Google's Jamboard

Not social media but I'd probably like the idea of social games like these little timekillers from Facebook, chess, worms, poker, whatever that's not that dependent on speed\ping and lightweight. Basically an app platform that can be easily included into other apps. Some different Lemmy communities can even challenge each other or hold events.

Tiktok Youtube (there is peertube but it's not as popular as YouTube)

[-] nitefox@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Wattpad, tho it’s not a social media

[-] nycki@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Google search. I want a way of finding stuff based on everyone's tag suggestions, like a booru, but distributed.

There is a nostr app working on this. It's not very far along but it's an interesting idea https://wikistr.com/

federated linkedin would be baller and would take so much pain out of the job application process, and i never even thought of that before. yeah, of course its still ran by filthy capitalists, but it would save a ton of time for job applications

LinedUp

spoilerThe LinkedIn for coke dealers

A yt alternative that worked for content creators to be able to live off it.

How? I'm not sure.

[-] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Fediverse patreon, seems reasonnable, but they'd have to swallow using monero
