Combining groups and payments into a fedi-forward service for content creators

Mitra got mentioned once or twice IIRC, even, I’m sure it’s amongst the collective heap of “things I need to learn more about but there are only 3 days…” notes.

Also it caught my attention a little while back because the first srs health tech company I worked for was Mitra Imaging.

@silverpill@mitra.social I'm not certain. I think if they do support them they're likely internal only, like NodeBB and Piefed.

@silverpill Also #Elgg https://github.com/RiverVanRain/activitypub @julian @fedimtl @ozoned @reiver @johannab @j12t @paige @mayel

@silverpill Of course. Elgg supports all types of groups, including private ones (this depends on the settings of the corresponding plugin).

Here’s an example of how it looks — this is a public group with ActivityPub enabled: https://demo.wzm.me/activitypub/groups/165/

@fedimtl @general

@silverpill As for private groups, right now you’ll see more notifications than actual posts. I think our team will provide a full implementation in the near future. But to reiterate, at the moment this already works on the federation level.

You’re underestimating the power of Elgg

@fedimtl @general

@elgg

Elgg doesn't show up here: https://fedidb.com/software?st=active&q=elgg

Any idea why?

@silverpill @julian @fedimtl @ozoned @reiver @johannab @paige @mayel

@j12t Honestly, I don’t really understand why many developers keep overlooking Elgg. We’ve built a full-featured federated ecosystem on top of it, from stores to communities, and it’s working well in production.

I’m planning to publish our release soon, and it’s going to be big. For now, you can already explore and use the current codebase.

@elgg Well, we did have @ben give a keynote at #FediForum last year!

Consider coming to a future FediForum and giving a demo to get more exposure in this community.

@j12t @elgg I’m not part of the Elgg project these days (although I own the .com and the trademark) - but I *have* done a bad job of sending folks its way. I can be a better ambassador.
