#ActivityBot #ActivityPub #mastodon #phpI was temped to add versioning to #ActivityBot using:
```php

OK, let's try the experiment two years later.
I've created a Fediverse account with a non-ASCII username.
@你好@i18n.viii.fi
Please try to follow it and then answer the poll questions.
If you can click & follow, which app and service are you using?
THANKS GANG!

@hrefna@hachyderm.io years ago, I helped move a Star Trek PBeM to NodeBB. It didn't take off, but the concept is solid.
@badtuple@mastodon.social if you know of any PbP admins looking to migrate I'd be happy to help.

It would be very cool to have something like that. Thus far the list of games on the fediverse is saddeningly short:

@badtuple I've debated making something that does that, but haven't ever pulled the trigger on it. I don't know of any other projects in this regard, but projects like NodeBB (and the threadiverse more generally) have done interesting work that could be adapted.

@FinchHaven Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate it.
