Hey @aonrud@mastodon.ie @isaac@lakora.us @room_nb@log.nyaight.me! I noticed you also use #MicroBlogPub. I recently started playing around with it and then realized the original author stopped responding/maintaining it...
I am starting to talk to other users about creating a new home for central coordination here: https://github.com/orgs/microblog-pub/discussions
It would be great to exchange ideas and maybe work together to keep this project up...
@0x3b0b@bw3.dev I saw that you use #microblog to host your federated presence. I am contacting people who do so to try to reanimate the project. Would love to hear your ideas: https://github.com/orgs/microblog-pub/discussions
@read wow! That's awesome! Will be following your progress with great interest!
@BeAware@social.beaware.live Holy Sh*t! Your response made me very excited about this! I thought the blog post was going to just sit there, like most stuff on (un)social media!
If you have any ideas about how things should go, I'd love to talk to you: https://github.com/microblog-pub/microblog.pub/discussions
@read Tbh, I stay very busy and don't really know much about the behind the scenes stuff.
I just really enjoy new Fedi software and have been looking for a single user focused software for awhile. I'll let you develop it and fix things that you need to fix and when you come out with a few updates, I might give it a go and give you some feedback!🙌
Although I haven't used this poor abandoned blog much, it is not because I dislike the MicroBlog.pub software that I am using to self-host it. It actually helped me to learn about the IndieWeb.org and MicroPub.net communities, as well as practice work with the ActivityPub.rocks protocol (which is the engine of the #Fediverse).
Sadly, as I got excited about MicroBlog.pub, I realized that the creator had abandoned the project for more than a year. Issues, requests, and pull requests have piled up. The excitement of users faded away as I found forks close doors. But it is #opensource, right?
Yep!
Hence, I decided to contact some other users and start a collective effort to keep this cool project alive. Here is where it will live: https://github.com/microblog-pub
Let us hope I will be able to put together a good crew.
