design around ease of self-hosting. A non technical user must be able to self host easily and at a very low cost.
Embrace content sorting and filtering algorithms, but on the client side, with optional control by the user.
Standardize tags on all content. So many of the different ways different platforms classify or organize content can be implemented as tags, which increases interoperability between them.
Abandon obsession with real-time-first implementations for use cases that don't explicitly need it.
Transferable user identity (between instances)
User identity and authentication as separate service from social network instance

Fun and weird ways of using the internet socially. Fediverse has the unique opportunity that you can build anything and automatically reach people. I'd like to see people really push the idea of what a social platform looks and acts like.

Misskey?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I havent found an English misskey instance so I havent been able to really try it out. At a glance it seems similar to mastodon

Most of English instance are using Misskey-fork named Sharkey.

Misskey itself has tons of unique features that Mastodon don't have, like threaded discussion/reply, Misskey games (only two for now), custom interface, emoji reaction like Discord/Slack.

Can you give examples ? That's partly why I ask this question.

Ive got ideas in my mind but its hard to put them into realistic ideas of a site.
