Meet Fedibook!
The idea came from thinking about what it actually takes to get regular users onto the fediverse. Mastodon is great (i love it), but the follow-based model feels unfamiliar to some. Friends and Groups though — that's something everyone already understands.
So Fedibook is a fediverse platform built around exactly that, using ActivityPub. Think federated address book meets social network, with the kind of social graph people are already used to.
Current status:
- Friend requests across servers working
- News feed working, with visibility levels: public, friends-only, or local server onlyHoping to open up for early testing and feedback soon. Open source of course.

@sindum@mstdn.dk cool project, welcome to the fediverse.
How are your groups federated? Do they follow FEP 1b12?

Well, you know the drill - release early, release often. It's been 18 minutes - what are we waiting for?

@julian Thanks!
Groups use the FEP-1b12 pattern — Group actors, Follow to join, Create to post, Announce to fan-out — but with one current limitation: group federation is Fedibook-to-Fedibook only for now. Non-Fedibook
instances get a Reject on Follow.It's a pragmatic shortcut to get something working for now. Full cross-platform group support (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.) is the goal if it proves feasible.

@madsenandersc Your are free to sign up at dev1.fedibook.dk or dev2.fedibook.dk but do understand that it is a playground and a peek into my dev system. Planning to deploy a demo env in the following week.

@sindum how similar to, or different from, Friendica is it?

Something like a lightweight Hubzilla, Friendica or Diaspora?
