Using AP federation to re-unify fediverse dev discussion across multiple forums

Continuing the discussion from Possible C2S Implementation in LAUTI:

What is the reason that this thread does not federate? It looks like it should..

SocialHub federation has been broken for a long time, and shows no sign of being fixed. This is another reason I'm abandoning it for greener pastures. It's great that @angus is maintaining SH as a historical archive to keep the many links that point here from breaking. But it's clearly no longer the community centre it once was.

Even though it is a medium that is not up to the task of holding a grassroots open-standards based ecosystem together, microblogging has become the preferred channel for communication in the app-centric fediverse.

I agree this is far from ideal. As I made pretty clear in my topic last year arguing against forum fragmentation. But I'm not sure that's exactly what's happening.

Some dev discussion seems to have moved to ActivityPub.space, which is a nodeBB forum, not a microposting service. Other discussions seems to be happening in communities on Lemmy services, etc. The challenge now is to realise the promise of the "threadiverse". By figuring out how to use AP federation to weave all these discussions together, so it feels like it's all happening in a unified space, and all the discussions can be discovered via any of the participating forums.
