    so, this is a bit of an abstract mathematical post. I think that a fediverse service consists mostly of three parts: identity provider, data hoster, and feed provider. The data hoster is the machine that hosts the posts and comments and upvote/downvote stats. The feed provider is the service which gives you a nice, scrollable overview over new content for you. This is today the same system that provides the data, but it could be separated, such as having a custom "search engine" that gives you content, that you use independently of where the data is stored. The identity provider basically only makes a proof that "you are you" : you give it your login credentials and it gives you a kind of token that authenticates (proves your identity) to other services. like, i'm on discuss.tchncs.de, but i can post to lemmy.world. this is because the discuss.tchncs.de server says to lemmy.world that i indeed have this account on this server. so they prove my identity in a way. What i argue now is that such an identity providing server is not technically necessary. You could use something like an ~/.ssh/id_rsa file that you generate on your own computer and use that public key to identify yourself on the fediverse. I don't think that this approach has any inherent advantages over how things are being done today, but it could be done that way and that in itself is fascinating. :D

    @julian thank you! It quiet often feels like the tools are quiet special interest tools for the most people but quiet usefull for some.The most frustrating part persoally for me is that their are sooo many good fediverse related ideas but it is really hard to find any other way than to use your free time to work on it. So most projects I can show is small weekend projects! @encyclia is really great idea and I'm exited for the impact it could have on scientst in the fediverse

    One person's request for Fediverse applications β€”Alex wants to be able to choose what the preview image is for a video, chosen from the frames in the video....I can imagine editing tools (in Fediverse applications) would also be useful.It is also common elsewhere for people to be able to use custom images for preview images.#FediDev #FediDevs #FediUX #Fediverse #FediverseUX #PreviewImage #Video
