A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
This one started promising, but has not progressed all that much since the original release, at least feature wise.
Probably needs someone outside of the main group of NC developers to pick it up and develop further.
Yeah, I was a bit disappointed too, but I think the idea itself is really exciting.
Nextcloud has this really lazy business model. Essentially they launch a skeleton of a feature and then hope the community will do the development for them. There's so many unmaintained features that it's makes the service quite unreliable beyond file sharing.
Actually the opposite often happens (as I think was the case here). Someone from the community develops a prototype app -> people get excited -> Nextcloud GmbH decides to promote it to an official app (but without actually paying someone to work on it) -> community member abandons app.
Right, fair point yours is more accurate.
