Introducing Fedizen, Our Bonfire Project - We Distribute
wedistribute.org
"What's he building in there?" echoes through my mind. In our latest experiment, we are building a new type of Fediverse experience geared towards aiding discovery. Here's how we get there.

We Distribute is teaming up with Bonfire to develop a new kind of social instance - one that elevates curation and discovery to promote all things Fediverse. It’s a social instance, but also a discovery portal.

    Sounds cool! Although I do not really get it.

    I always miss the basic grammar of software platform announcements - making things hard to understand. Especially fedi-projects can be confusing.

    So, it is an instance. How do I interact with it? As a user on that instance or any fedi instance?

    Do I use the website or my own instance?

    Basically who am I (the user), and what do I do? And where do I do it?

    Thanks

      Should be good now, we redeployed onto a beta release to test out some feature fixes. We’re basically dogfooding this every day!

      Can you show me where Lemmy does this? I don’t natively come across podcast content from Castopod, nor do I see PeerTube content unless someone adds a link to a post. I don’t see Lemmy directing people to creators, writers, musicians, etc. What about articles ? I rarely see if at all articles that come from blogging instances

      Seems to be a mix between what WeDistribute currently is, but aggregating content from different sources, and a Bonfire instance. So an effort to mix the old web with the social web. The best parallel to me seems to be websites with associated forums back in the old days, but a federated version.

      I’m interested to see how it works out.
