utopiArte<p>To begin with <span class="h-card"><a href="https://friendica.mrpetovan.com/profile/hypolite" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>hypolite</span></a></span>, the original idea is to offer for example to projects like <span class="h-card"><a href="https://toot.aquilenet.fr/users/yunohost" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>yunohost</span></a></span> or <span class="h-card"><a href="https://podlibre.social/users/Castopod" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Castopod</span></a></span> a profile on forum.friendi.ca, the same way our very <span class="h-card"><a href="https://forum.friendi.ca/profile/helpers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>helpers</span></a></span> works.<br>Most <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=fediVerse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediVerse</span></a> platforms have profiles on their own platform and/or a <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> profile, because that's the kinda standard thought and behavior. But actually to me it looks like the <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>friendica</span></a> <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=communityForum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communityForum</span></a> page capabilities exceed by far what mastodon or others have to offer. Well, I haven't digged into the fedi clone of reddit to see if that would be an even better option. What is true tho is that forum.friendi.ca is already long standing and our community has gone a long way, so there is in general terms "no single point of failure" like in other projects that depend on one main figure and that's it.</p><p>I consider our helpers community experience here, with all the followers of our helpers page getting resend the help requests posted to the forum, chiming in to help out and solve issues, very positive. So this is a proven setup and could help lot's of other projects out here too. Actually I do think that if implemented and adopted, it even could have a positive feed back loop for friendica itself, but that's like something on another page.</p><p>So having forum.friendi.ca already up and running, why not support the fediVerse community opening our doors to those who fulfill certain basic community standards?</p><p>This server here (tupambae.org) as well is only mend to be a forum server, and of course it's doors are open for any <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=fediPlatform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediPlatform</span></a> that likes to have an own forum page over here, yet somehow to me it look's like forum.friendi.ca is the first natural and ideal candidate for something like that.</p><p>Of course same goes for a <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=fediAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediAdmin</span></a>, <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=activityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>activityPub</span></a> or <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=APIdeveloppers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APIdeveloppers</span></a> community support forum, if that is desired or useful.</p><p>Right now in general terms the fedi lives on using some tags or maybe some a.gup.pe addresses, but it's actually us who hold and develop that option for more than a decade now inside the federation itself.</p><p>Was that more clarifying <code>@hypolite</code>?</p>
