For me it becomes every time more clear that what indymedia needs is just small automatic cross-posting and maybe using apis/embbed to connect all different networks in a single place indymedia...

for instance... i create a new node for indymedia.. it installs:

a blog page
a mastodon page
a peertube page
pixelfed?
mobilizon

from the indymedia gui, i would be able to insert blog posts, videos, images, etc... blog posts would be hosted in a blog federated place and taken by an api, to the indymedia website, mastodon would just send a new notification with title a little excerpt of the history, peertube would receive videos, and pixelfed images, mobilizon for the calendar and events... is not this? other approach would be to host everything in a hubzilla page, but i believe this is way more complex, hubzilla is trying to solve too much in a single place.

I don't understand the pleroma-FE approach, need more input :)

That is kinda the plan, have a look at the images.

With the #OMN we go one stage further and build a distributed shared metadata enriched data soup.

Our apps are a ladel and the internet is a semantic web cauldron.

It's an interesting project built largely with existing tools and open standards #4opens
