#SocialHub community forum has the #ActivityPub plugin enabled yet 1st with full open, untweaked federation settings. Accessiblity for any #fedizen got a real boost. Yet with big negative impact on 'sense of community'. It's up for debate whether adding #fediverse support in early stages of dev was a wise move. And whether the result is net negative or positive (I think the former).

Any fedi dev: Think hard what it means to be federated. It's more than just 'plugging in'. Consider the #SX side.
