    I wonder, if I specialize in fediverse development, would that help me get a job? Is there work in the fediverse?

      I mean software development as a whole, probably. Just knowing how to code in a somewhat larger org can open up job opportunities later on.

      Fediverse specific…probably not. My cynical side thinks that most lose money/spend much more than we take in from the fediverse. Most projects are just passion projects with very little budget. But dont believe me, try it out! I want to be wrong on this.

      I’m betting on the Fediverse, just like I did on Reddit all those years ago.

      But, you are currently in a hype machine since you are on Lemmy. As someone who develops with ActivityPub now, there is not a big market for it at the moment.

      I expect it will grow, especially as identity management standardizes (I’m actually presenting about this at a conference a bit later today), but it will likely take time.

        Is the conference being livestreamed anywhere?

    Its interesting, theres a lot of links she references that I was not aware of in the fediverse.

    • calckey.world looks like a microblogging platform.
    • www.deepl.com/en/translator translation service.
    • loops.video - still not sure 100%. Ticktock fedi? Is it any good?
    • clubb.cymru/…/linux-mobile-safer-phone-for-childe… - I want this really bad. A linux phone that doesn’t suck would be nice.
