Apparently there is an attempt for a federated alternative to Discord.

(I am not affiliated with Shoot in any way)

    I don’t think that they are federated yet.

    I found this under the “Panned” section

    It’s the link labeled “Federation with other fediverse software”

    Although I’m not sure how Discord style it will be if there is federation between Shoot instances

      Thanks, yeah seems they in fact have the boilerplate code there to handle the basics of ActivityPub. But all the complicated and difficult stuff is missing. And that’d be the majority of the effort.

      It federates, I was told that it uses FEP-1b12. However, I haven’t yet gotten past the actor discovery because there is always some bug that prevents further interactions 😅

        Uh, bummer. Thanks. Btw I think FEP-1b12 is the very abstract concept on how to address things to a group. I suppose we should have a working implementation of it in almost all current Fediverse software that deals with groups. The interesting part would be to specify the content that gets delivered like the chat messages this project is concerned with. Or how they’re sorted, or how these groups are presented or the additional multimedia functionality.
