At this year's FediForum one of the breakout sessions centred around the Theadiverse, the subset of ActivityPub-enabled applications built around a group-centric model of content representation.

The main outcome of the meeting involved the genesis of an informal working group for the threadiverse, in order to align our disparate implementations toward a common path.

If you're developer of a threadverse app/platform and interested in being involved, read more at https://mastodon.social/@julian@community.nodebb.org/112124227775597261 or https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17908/threadiverse-working-group

I should probably know this, but why “threadverse” and not “fediverse”? The name Threadverse sounds like a Meta trademark.

  Threadiverse existed before Meta started their thing.

  Theadiverse refers specifically to Fediverse sites that are organized like forums.

    Yea. Broadly it’s basically everything that’s not microblogging and has well organised conversations

  That’s exactly my thought. I really don’t like “Threadiverse” for that reason.

Was FediForum that cash-grab event t 90€/person with no public live-stream? Or am I thinking of another event?

  There were a variety of price points, including $1.99 tickets for people who couldn’t afford more. General Tickets were 40 bucks, but quite a few people spent more to sponsor the cheap tickets to help out. Only corporate attendees paid $250 per person.
  
  The demos were recorded and uploaded, extensive notes for each breakout session were written, and some of us did live-blogging for the entire day while attending. The general format of an unconference is pretty grassroots, conversational, and informal.
  
  It’s the third event of its kind, bringing in a wide variety of people building different parts of the Fediverse, from Trust & Safety to standards bodies to developers and advocates. There’s a lot of awesome things happening as people try to grapple with some of the biggest challenges the network has ever had.

    As so, it is FediForum I was thinking of. @nutomic@lemmy.ml made a comment about not wanting to participate because he had to pay and I wasn’t sure if it was this.
    
    It all still feels really iffy. This could’ve easily been streamed on a streaming platform of choice or just like FOSDEM did during COVID: through matrix. Also, only demo videos were uploaded, not the talks themselves. That just feels like a marketing move: give them a taste so that next time, they’ll spend money to get the real thing.
    
    I can understand that there’s effort and time required by the organisers to set this all up, but IMO there’s a better way that makes this seem less… commercial and FARTSy (forced artificial scarcity). For example make it free for maintainers, stream with a delay for the public (e.g 5 minutes like in esports) and none for participants, let participants join in the live chat, record entire talks, upload the talks to peertube and add donation links.

So who is involved in this so far?

source
- rimu@piefed.social ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
  Developers from Discourse, NodeBB, Mbin, PieFed, Hubzilla and maybe some more that I forgot. Possibly Lemmy devs too, someone is contacting them directly about that.
  
  If we can get Discourse and NodeBB sharing nicely with Lemmy+Mbin+PieFed it could more than double the size of the threadverse. It's a big deal.

    Indeed!
    
    If that all comes together, it’d be like “what kind of forum/reddit platform does the fediverse have” and the answer would just be “yes”.

Shouldnt admins be involved in this as well? Just an idea.

How many people attended this ‘FediForum’? I ask because I’d like to see how representative it is of the community. The last thing the Fediverse needs is another cliché of nerds directing the strategy of a decentralized protocol.
