hey this looks really similar to a proposal that was made on github for jerboa. Jerboa is also really focused on material UI so maybe it would be best to combine efforts and help each other out.
forgejo and gitea are implementing activitypub rn. Soon you will be able to create issues and participate in discussions from the comfort of the fediverse.
its just jerboa not jerboa for lemmy. There wasn't any other jerboa and I have to admit that I hate these bloated and unnecessary additions. Just decalre openly that your app now only works with lemmy. Problem solved.
But I get what you wanted to say. I think some versions earlier ths was even more prominent. Like they really advertised it as the app by the official lemmy devs.
If you pull that one I'll kiss your feet. No really, forgejo is a wonderful piece of software. I'm eagerly awaiting their implementation of activitypub so that I can make code imrpovements without having to sing up for thousand services.
Imagine the benefits if the code for your activitypub instances were hosted on an activitypub federated platform. Everyone could participate from the comfort of the fediverse.
Lets just make EEE on them. Let users taste the benefits of the fediverse. Convince them that there are more sophisticated apps and that they have much better security because they are open source and finaly let the users migrate over here.
It was a protocol used mainly for text communication. The fediverse is far more than that already. It's not the instances that matter but the services that the fediverse offers. It is a unique tool on the internet to connect different platforms. I don't know of any alternative that can do it that way.
Also I wouldn't say that XMPP is dead it's just that less people want to use it anymore. but that depends on us users and no one else. I, for example, still offer to switch to XMPP for my communities and recommend it to others.
As I stated in another comment it is not impossible that they may leech the fediverse to death but I think its highly unlikely. The fediverse is much more than just a decentralised platform. It is an amalgamation of many platforms with different userbases and different goals. In order for the fediverse to collapse, everything would have to be replaced together as well as the flexibility to continuously integrate new services, as is the case here now.
In the case of XMPP, the community became a passive spectator of google's advance and was eventually replaced by it. But as long as the community does not become dependent on the big corpos in any way and regards their contributions more as a nice bonus, something like this will not happen. It is this self-sufficiency that allows the freedom to go one's own way and to keep the power decentralised in the community. I have to admit, however, that this can be a big challenge, but one that is nevertheless manageable.
Then most of the people just switch over to the corpo app because the alternatives are worse
The corpo leaves the fediverse with the userbase
I'm not saying it's impossible, but in my opinion it's very unlikely. The fediverse, unlike XMPP, does not consist of a single service but of a multitude of platforms. To shut down the fediverse, you would have to destroy all of these platforms and create your own platform that can do all of this and also flexibly integrate new services, as is currently happening with git hosting sites. I don't think even the biggest companies will be able to break this power of the community.

I saw this keycap set but wasn't sure how it would look like irl. But this looks really gorgeous.
