Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

Federated groups in Bonfire will be spaces where communities gather to organise, care, and coordinate across the fediverse. They'll live next to your personal feed, but each group having a specific purpose: a study circle, a lab team, an activist collective, a local mutual aid crew, a project team. Inside youโ€™ll find posts, conversations, calendars, shared resources, and more. Crucially, groups will be portable and interoperable.

I see Bonfire mentioned a lot on the fediverse report and elsewhere, but I still don't understand what it is. I went to their website and it's a wall of text that sounds like marketing. I don't see a demo or a flagship instance.

Thanks for the sciety link. It looks like a half broken mastodon feed. So it's a microblogging thing apparently?

I caught a lot of flak for a similar observation ages ago. Apparently I was the idiot because I wasn't interested in parsing corporate waffle.

I found the demo instance: https://campground.bonfire.cafe/

Regarding the project itself, it's supposed to be a mix of Mastodon/Piefed/Nextcloud

It kind of reminds of comments people made about "APub should not try to replicate corporate platforms, and just have the content available for everyone, then let the front-ends present it in different ways" in this thread: https://piefed.zip/c/fediverse/p/779852/is-pixelfed-sawing-off-the-branch-that-the-fediverse-is-sitting-on#post_replies

The execution however is less than ideal.

There is no flagship instance. I'm curious about bonfire too but, I'd like to be a regular user and try out how compatible it is with mastodon and the rest of the fediverse. Last time I checked the only bonfire instance that allowed signups didn't have federation on.
