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

The finer details of this are beyond me for now, but I know that @moshidon often seems to know that a URL leads to AP object, and opens it in-app instead of passing it to a web browser. Can you link us to any resources you used to make that magic happen Lucas?

I was fortunate present my thoughts at #FOSDEM 2026. I think it went pretty well... though a little rushed.

It's at least a good survey of where I think we as a community need to head, and how my work on #Emissary meets each of these needs

Key Points:
* Bring creators to the Fediverse ( #OnlinePayments)
* Work together to operate like a single unit ( #FEP3b86)
* Killer Features they can't copy ( #DataPortability)
* Whatever YOU do, go make the Fediverse better

I understand the need to link back to an app. It’s important, but I’m voting for the open web.

All the search and discovery interactions *should* start out on a website somewhere, then link back to your home website (or possibly an app) to share and like.

But, using a new URL scheme will lock out everyone who doesn’t have an app installed, and that’s a bad UX.

Plus, I think we can solve this “back to my server” issue in other ways WITHOUT needing a URL scheme, like: #FEP3b86
