after seeing this, I do not want to get my hopes up… 😂😂😂
That’s fair haha. I definitely understand that. Building open source software, or really any software, is frought with possibility of failure. I don’t claim to be the survivor who will get through it all, that would be incredibly naive of me to claim. I’m just trying, just like others have tried before me :)
optimal management of Activitypub groups
I definitely plan to support groups. Do you mean anything in particular with “optimal” management? I mean what would be “suboptimal” management? Do you just mean an incomplete implementation?
optimal management of the DB: Piefed has made great strides, while this remains the Achilles heel of Friendica
Are you mostly talking about performance here? Or how do you mean?
Definitely agree images are important. I honestly question the value of RSS feeds. It’s not something “normal” users use. It’s very much a techy thing. I don’t know any non-technical person who even knows what RSS is or has ever even heard of it.
a registration system that combines the features of Mastodon and Lemmy
I plan to support applications and/or invitation trees (like lobste.rs uses). But more could be added I suppose. What features are you thinking of?
Definitely agree moderation is important. I want to ensure moderation is well supported with good moderation tools.
if the system allows formatted posts, a formatting bar is necessary (Lemmy is a great model). Then we should figure out whether to use Markdown or a more precise simplified HTML (BBcode is not the best)
I think you need a WYSIWYG editor. That’s what normal people expect.
I’d like to support polls and events. As said before, I want to support all kinds of content ideally.
circle management (like those of Friendica)
What is a circle in Friendica? I’m not familiar.
I’m planning and architecting the system to support filtering and good search functionality. Everything is accessible via the backend API (how else?).
Thanks for the clarifications and thoughts!
