I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A #fediverse linktree.
It’s designed for two types of people:
Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool par: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.
Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (#Mastodon, #Pixelfed, Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own #ActivityPub inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefed !

I love it! I also believe in the power of the alternatives and collaboration, the more open alternatives the merrier.
I would also need a very specific activitypub integration to allow to among other things show badges. As far as I understand Linkstack does not have an activitypub implementation? Maybe I am wrong.
I also love PHP, but I wanted to host it in other stack, so that is why to build the alternative.

@mapache
Very cool idea and I can immediately see how wide adoption of this can help make the Fediverse more visible. Sign me up! -

Hiya, yes, I would like to test this. I currently use @linkstack for this, so it'll be great to see how your system works. I will need to self-host though - will that be possible?

@mapache Never used a link tree. If you need that kind of tester.

@rolandwoldt @badgefed it is possible but technically difficult. There have been many discussions about it.
There was a time that you could login with your mastodon account in pixelfed. This is one of the most pressing things, id, portability, etc. It is definitely something the community wants to figure it out.
-
I am relatively new to this whole Fediverse thing. But why can't all tools be done in a way that they recognize an existing ID as the standard (or, in other words, I'd like to avoid multiple accounts in the first place)?
Is that possible?
-
Absolutely! You hit the nail.
I think we can make a better linktree. We can have featured accounts, with people showing other accounts. We can have latest updates. We can allow normies to crosspost/boost from instagram, rss, bluesky, whatever. We can do many many things.
-
Something that collates multiple Fediverse accounts into a single followable profile is an idea that makes absolute sense.
Especially so if there's an option to show the latest updates from each of the feeds as part of the link page.
(Bonus points if it also boosts RSS updates)
Would love to have a dabble!

@mapache @badgefed hello! Very interested in testing, possibly also in digging around in the integration potential.

@mapache I'd like to try this out as well!
