Big hopes for littleFedi 2 ▲ Shom Bandopadhaya 7 hours ago · Tech · hide · 1 comments The Fediverse is exciting, I’ve formed genuine connections with interesting people. GoToSocial got me hosting my own presence. And I hope littleFedi is what gets to hosting a community. Thoughts/context on Fediverse The federated universe (Fediverse) is awesome: different applications, networks, sub-cultures all able to interact with each other via a rather lightweight protocol, ActivityPub. It’s this very lightweightness is interesting because not all the servers are architected to be lightweight because they are architected to scale. There’s a lot of debate about the role of centralization, discoverability, “flagship” instances this post isn’t that. BUT, decentralization is a big selling point of ActivityPub and being able to run many small instances on low power hardware democratizes participation. I’m all about that, GoToSocial fits the bill perfectly and I have been very happy hosting it and the team is doing great and thoughtful work. Why am I excited about littleFedi!?

Does the site just use the time in the RSS feed and not when it was fetched?
