I've been thinking a lot about #ActivityIntents and how to make it easy for people to find and join the #SocialWeb
Here's some ultra-low-effort drawings of the process I'm imagining. (criticism and refinements welcome)
1. embeddable widgets (follow, like, share, etc) for any site
2. pre-populate search fields to recommend a single server (with overrides)
3. pass extra data to that server on signup so the intent is honored
4. recommend additional accounts based on context
Yes?
Hey #FediDev gang.. Do you think this is the right way to guide people from personal/organizational websites into the #Fediverse?
Some of this is defined in #FEP3b86. Some of it exists today in #Emissary (and the #oStatus "remote follow") some is being built by @dansup as #WebIntents, and some is just scribbles on paper.
If there's interest, I'm happy to write up the rest of this as an additional #FEP
