Meet Fedibook!
The idea came from thinking about what it actually takes to get regular users onto the fediverse. Mastodon is great (i love it), but the follow-based model feels unfamiliar to some. Friends and Groups though — that's something everyone already understands.
So Fedibook is a fediverse platform built around exactly that, using ActivityPub. Think federated address book meets social network, with the kind of social graph people are already used to.
Current status:
- Friend requests across servers working
- News feed working, with visibility levels: public, friends-only, or local server onlyHoping to open up for early testing and feedback soon. Open source of course.

@sindum@mstdn.dk cool project, welcome to the fediverse.
How are your groups federated? Do they follow FEP 1b12?

Well, you know the drill - release early, release often. It's been 18 minutes - what are we waiting for? :)

@julian Thanks!
Groups use the FEP-1b12 pattern — Group actors, Follow to join, Create to post, Announce to fan-out — but with one current limitation: group federation is Fedibook-to-Fedibook only for now. Non-Fedibook
instances get a Reject on Follow.It's a pragmatic shortcut to get something working for now. Full cross-platform group support (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.) is the goal if it proves feasible.

@madsenandersc Your are free to sign up at dev1.fedibook.dk or dev2.fedibook.dk but do understand that it is a playground and a peek into my dev system. Planning to deploy a demo env in the following week.

@sindum how similar to, or different from, Friendica is it?

Something like a lightweight Hubzilla, Friendica or Diaspora?

What will be the demands to run this? It looks much cleaner than Friendica.

@sindum i think you're on to something here. Looking forward to trying it out. 👍
It would be amazing if the group feature turns out to work well. Here in Sweden that's probably the main "lock-in" fb has on the users. You miss out on what's happening in your neighbourhood, town, summer vacation village, special interest community etc. Even political parties organise local and national groups through fb.

@arildsen The goal is to make it more simpel to use, install and look like something may will reconize right away. It not that different from Friendica - but perhaps more active and modern looking.

@jens a docker host and with a proxy. It will come with a traefik container ready to you or your can use your own. I dont know performance requirements yet, but I a'm for it to be low. Right now running in 8GB host also running ghost,peertube,wordpress etc.
-
@michael I follow you and have though the same. But sometime a new take on the solution can show the way. This is a POC for now. If the result is a new drive for making e.i. Friendica better that would just as good. Sometimes it takes a new-kid-on-the-block to get things moving. I really really like to se a fediverse SoMe for the masses.
