    A Deviantart (or similar art sharing site) clone. None of the current offerings are really suited for that. Sure you can use Mastodon or PixelFed to post art/fanart, but discovery of your portfolio is a crapshoot and so is the commenting system for people wanting to give feedback.

    A Wattpad (or similar story publishing) clone. Same problem as above. I’ve tried posting my writings on Lemmy but the character limit makes it entirely unsuited for long pieces (though this can be pretty easily remedied just by increasing the character limit, long form writings are are pretty successful on Reddit and forums after all, see, one, /r/nosleep, /r/worldbuilding and and all the other share-your-story subreddits, and two, all the fanfiction being published and literary roleplays happening on bb style forums. But still, something dedicated to creative writing with built-in support for tags, as well as story partitioning like chapters and series would be ideal.

    I thought about a federated wikipedia software. I know everybody can make their own wiki these days, but i thought about a platform where different instances are easily accesible through a common set of article names. For example, i want to visit an article about the “history of ireland”, but if i access this through an irish instance i imagine the contents are going to pretty different from a british instance, with even different sources being used, a whole different editor team and so on. I think this would be great in the world we live in currently where it gets more and more important to consider every perspective available, comparing and acknowleding the existing biases. But i don’t know if this type of software already exists. If it does, let me know about it.

    I had a cool idea for a Fediverse dating app recently, but I’m not sure if that’s something people would actually want

    Collaborative writing

    I’d like to see a federated app that allows people to collectively design and author intricate plots, with features like in Manuskript or similar plot authoring tools.

    A time tracking app such as Kimai would be neat, especially for the federated aspect where different teams & members could work together from their respective organization domain.

      I know you had lamented the fact that this wasn’t so Arnold, but the project lead related to me that #Flarum federation isn’t going to happen anytime soon, which I had been hoping would either happen with that product, or with Node.bb

      I’ve never been especially happy with the stack chosen, but it’s really just a matter of how non-trivial self-hosted installation and maintenance is, and it really is s great platform otherwise. It also happens to be what powers #Social_Coding and the ActivityPub . Rocks site already, so it will be a big boost for exposure of both, which is, IMO, awesome!

        Ah, I mentioned I was approached re:Flarum in November `22. Haven’t heard back since, incl. my recent DM to Daniël. For me Discourse federation is most valuable, as I am on N forums. For SocialHub we’ve been encouraging federation for a long time, so really happy this is getting started indeed.
