You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Boards are actors, and every message on the board is attributed to the board actor.
I think it would be easier to make it interoperate with microblogs than with forum-like software.
This is what ActivityPub client-to-server API was designed for.
Most servers don’t implement it, but some do:

Clients are even harder to find, and none of them are good, AFAIK
FChannel is a federated anonymous imageboard powered by ActivityPub:
Looks reasonable overall, but I don’t understand some of your assessments.
>Easy (Leverage email hosting services)
What are those email hosting services? If hosting and maintenance are delegated to 3rd parties, that doesn’t count towards decentralization.
>Top Provider User Share: Reddit ≈ 48.4%
Why this is not 100%?
>Very Easy: One-command Docker,
I think the easiest option is distro’s default package manager – docker is additional layer of complexity. Also some services are nearly impossible to self-host without docker, and points should be subtracted if that is the case.
@Teknevra It can be done with FEP-ae97:
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ae97/fep-ae97.md
Which enables shared identity and seamless migration as you describe, but I don’t think traditional web login needs to be abandoned. Fediverse will support both types of identities.
2·6 months ago@Fitik @Teknevra Tipping will also be supported in the future (in addition to subscriptions).
And people on other platforms may put addresses in profile fields (Lemmy doesn’t have them yet?). Mitra displays a donation icon when address is detected (the name of the field should be like $BTC).
@Ferminho @maegul This proposal describes a very simple marketplace, and some things were intentionally left out. However, it is based on Valueflows system which can be used to describe many different economic processes, including planning, production and transportation:
https://www.valueflo.ws/introduction/core/
So developers may use object types and properties defined there if they want to build something more complicated. And social interactions can be represented as standard ActivityPub activities. I think Valueflows and ActivityPub nicely complement each other.
@Emperor @MostlyLazy If the server doesn’t process payments it should not cause admin a headache in most (?) jurisdictions.
Alternatively, one could focus on grey markets.>Bitejo
By the way, Bitejo was planning to add federation, although now the future of the project is a bit uncertain. It might be added to Bitejo fork, as I suggested in this CCS: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/395#note_21836
@cyclohexane Today Instances also work as identity providers, but in the future identities are likely to become portable, and the only service provided by instances will be moderation.
@0x1C3B00DA There is a discussion of a similar proposal on SocialHub forum: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/suggestion-a-custom-url-scheme-handler-as-a-streamlined-ux-for-cross-instance-interactions-on-the-web/504
One of Mitra users made a video about subs long time ago, I can’t find it now. You’re right, I should make a video too (and also a website etc etc).
But I need to finish nomadic identity first, as it is the main objective of the project.
