> Bonfire apps are open source and modular, meaning they’re made of building blocks you can use to create your own custom apps or extensions. I might be wrong, but this feels kind of like a fusion of Mastodon + Nextcloud. Meaning that you have a social/federation-first framework that allows you easily build apps on top of the framework that extend the ecosystem (similar to the way that Nextcloud apps can be easily written and deployed on a Nextcloud server and can integrate with various server features and interoperate with other apps). It seems like this could be really cool! It could help fix one of the current challenges I see in the fediverse which involves a splintering of accounts that you post from. For example, I often see organizations with accounts for both Mastodon and PeerTube. It seems like Bonfire would possibly allow for for a single account that can be used both on a "social" app and on a "video" app....

you can most definitely use your mastodon account to log in to a peertube instance and post from there, no one is stopping you from doing that NOW...... if you have a mastodon/pleroma go and try it on a peertube instance. don't know why people create multiple accounts, peeertube has had sign in from fediverse for a long time now

  > don't know why people create multiple accounts The biggest marketing failure in the fediverse is that people still think that an instance determines your reach. They think of instances as subreddits, not as email servers.

    Do you have a thorough description of how it all works you can link? (Mastodon, or the fediverse in general.) I'd like to understand it, but haven't really felt like I grasped it after reading short descriptions.

      I don't have it yet, but if you write down a list of questions I can perhaps publish them on https://communick.com/docs/mastodon https://communick.com/docs/mastodon

      so you have a mastodon or pleroma account, right? that should be enough for you to put your foot in the fediverse. Now, you can interact with any mastodon account, just like you can send an email to anyone anywhere. Now, here is the fun part. if there is a peertube video you want to comment on. Instead of creating a new account, you can just "sign in from fediverse" and your comment will be posted on a peertube video. Also, lets say you have a peertube channel you want to follow. normally you would have to create an account (like a youtube account) and have all the videos followed in your mastodon feed itself. Same for following someone from pixelfed and commenting on their photo. How about if you want to listen to a funkwhale like for example this random person https://open.audio/@jayrope@open.audio/ https://open.audio/@jayrope@open.audio/ if you follow with your mastodon or pleroma or bonfire or misskey account, their new upload will show in our timeline...
