[fediverse-rising-2022-square]

Hi there fellow fedizen, it is great to see you in this community 😊

Why did I create this space, you ask? Well, first of all because Lemmy rocks of course, and I wanted to be part of the fun.

Fediverse Futures: Visions & Dreams

This community will focus on the future of the fediverse mostly. Because our potential is humongous and remains largely untapped. Fedi has come a long way, and has explored ‘doing social media differently’. Free, libre and open software, a great online culture, tremendous diversity and wonderful people.

It is time to go beyond microblogging and - like Lemmy and other splendid apps - go way further in the realm of possiblities. The dream of Fediverse Futures is …

“Social Media Reimagined”

Yeah, that’s right. We should go wild in exploring what is possible. Dream our most beautiful dreams, and cooperatively work on materializing them. Make them real.

In this space we’ll brainstorm and ideate, letting our imagination run free. This community is a companion to Fediverse Futures that exists at SocialHub. This community is non-technical at heart. It is for everyone dreaming fedi dreams.

Visionary ideas discussed here, can be taken further on the SocialHub forum to be elaborated and further flesh them out with more technical discussion.

      Thanks! I use the term a lot and hope it will find broader use. It is imho a good way to refer to the subset of netizens that are part of the Fediverse. And it is shorter that “People of the Fediverse, …”, while highlighting that we are a community :)

        The term fedizens piqued my interest and I made a sublemmy about it: https://lemmy.ml/c/fedizens. It is uncertain what I will do with this sublemmy that this sublemmy doesn’t already do. Currently, I anticipate using this sublemmy to highlight interesting interactions that span multiple fediverse platforms. (Ex a mastodon user linking to a pixelfed picture) However, I am open to more interesting suggestions. You can be a moderator of that sublemmy if you desire.

          Oh, that’s very interesting. Thank you for the offer, but for now I’ll just join, as I am already participating in too many places. I think a cool aspect to address in !fedizens@lemmy.ml is any collaborative initiatives and community interaction that takes place on fedi, such as the recently started Fedijams by @Houkime@fapsi.be.

              Yes, in a way it does. All fedi-related sublemmy’s have some overlap. Here I usually mention ideas and ‘stuff that exists in the wild’ that may inspire different uses of the Fediverse, such as apps that go well beyond Microblogging (like FedeProxy). And then the subsequent brainstorm is the objective, so any furthering of those ideas with wildly imaginative additions goes :)
