I am really excited to watch streams of #FOSDEM talks tomorrow concerning #Fediverse discovery and following global hashtags: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/track/social-web/
I believe that this all could work much better than #FediBuzz if it gets built into server implementations itself.
@astro Some servers already have all the necessary capabilities. The missing piece is https://github.com/astro/buzzrelay/issues/79
@silverpill So this is what LitePub is for? There is now also https://github.com/mastodon/fediverse_auxiliary_service_provider_specifications/blob/main/discovery/data_sharing/v0.1/data_sharing.md
@astro LitePub was like a dialect of ActivityPub, but LitePub relay protocol - yes, it is used for both publishing and consuming content.
FediBuzz can follow servers and even other LitePub relays, which will Announce public posts to it.
I think FASP is not necessary because we already have similar capabilities in ActivityPub. And those capabilities can be expanded: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/idea-for-a-more-capable-relay-server/8442
