Imagine a fediverse like button.
With https://webintents.net, it will soon be possible ✨
Imagine sharing a link to your fediverse account to someone not on the fediverse, hoping they follow you.
Now imagine instead that the link you share takes them to a beautiful yet simple landing page that carefully guides them to the ideal platform, geographically closest, and helps them through the onboarding process, recommends the best desktop/mobile client and then follows you from their new account.
Stop dreaming. I'm building this. Wanna help?
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
Hello World!
We're building a social web alternative to open graph, powered by @webintents and @fedidb
The website and documentation will be published soon, stay tuned 🚀
Never before has it been this easy to leverage the fediverse across the web.
With @webintents and @socialwebgraph, you will be unstoppable 🚀
Available Soon.

I'm a bit distracted with Loops Sound Library, the @webintents release will be delayed until this weekend.
I was ready to push web-intents, but I got some feedback that I wanted to resolve/implement first.
I did also reach out to a few projects regarding Activity Intents compatibility, and look forward to being able to support more platforms that way.
Stay tuned :)
Re: I've been thinking a lot about #ActivityIntents and how to make it easy for people to find and join the #SocialWeb
@benpate@mastodon.social depends... who's hosting the web intent button code and handling all of the behind the scenes tasks?
What are the buy-in requirements for each implementor, 3b86?
I see value in it, but I am not entirely sure if the flow is expected. I haven't clicked a "share to facebook" (or similar) button in years, if ever, but I am not the target user.
@julian Sorry, I didn't answer one of your questions
3b86 is very helpful, esp. for less common activities such as "Like" - so it would be great to get that metadata into WebFinger at a minimum.
But for simple "Follow" activities, we can also guess common endpoints by sniffing your server type. It's messy, but it'll work until we have better adoption.
That's what I'm doing server-side in #Emissary, and I believe @dansup is planning something similar for #WebIntents.

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?
