UnfinishedProjects is an attempt to create a community directory of open-licensed creative and technical work. We believe the commons grows stronger when we contribute small amounts to many projects rather than working in isolation.

We want to create a community with a culture that is different then the fast paced, low effort reposts - and instead build a community that encourages collaboration and thoughtful interaction.

  • Thanks for the kind words.

  • This could possibly work. One of the main priorities of the other platform was to have a "slower" and more "old school" internet, and to try and foster genuine and lasting connections and collaboration - and while it's not impossible to foster that community within lemmy or piefed, it is a lot harder just on the way that threads and discussions are structured and buried over time. But something is obviously better than nothing.

  • LMAO, yeah pretty much. But to be fair, the name "UnfinishedProjects" is because the platform was to be targeting people like myself who love to work on projects, but often shy away from the commitment, discipline, and responsibility of seeing them through. Having a stack of "unfinished projects" is practically my calling card lmao. So while it is ironic...it's sort of fitting haha. Turns out I couldn't manage to even finish the project that was meant to contain the projects )_: hahha.

    Closing down our short lived Federated Community. (Would love for someone to take over)

  • Thanks for the interest! As I mentioned on one of the other comments, our community is still small so if you are able to share or get involved it would greatly help build engagement for other members as well. Hope to see you over there :)

  • Sorry, just saw this reply. Thanks for registering :)

    As our current number of members are low, it would be helpful if you have some stuff to share, or stop by the introduction category and introduce yourself! Hope to see you over there if not already.

    We are trying to grow a new FOSS collaboration community.

  • Yeah, I know a lot of people are skeptical with the name - and I get it...but part of it is the fact that we embrace the fact that a project is unfinished. The idea is that the projects are carried forward by the commons, and even if someone abandons a project, someone else might be able to pick up where you left off and carry it forward.

    I feel that the current open source and creative commons projects all exist in small bubbles - where each individual or team tries to prop up their own project(s)...the idea is to try and bring the community together and work on projects within an ecosystem, rather than in isolation. Essentially, have each individual, team, and project intertwined with the other projects within our community/ecosystem. Obviously, until we actually build a community with this type of culture - its just a pipe dream...but that is the hope and vision. :)

  • @1@activitypub.space this actually makes me wonder, would it be possible to feed all of the topics within nodeBB forum categories into a single category that can be easily accessed from other platforms like piefed/lemmy/mastodon?

  • Thanks! You and the rest of the nodeBB community have been super helpful in getting us up and running, responding to bug reports, and etc.

    So thank you very much for the awesome open source software - I can't wait to see how the software grows and evolves over time :)

    New Forum Community.

    forum.unfinishedprojects.net /about
  • Exactly - I am hoping to find some smaller, close knit communities that align with our own to federate with. The goal isn't to create another instance full of news feeds and etc...but instead I want to try and build a community that is focused on valuable interactions/collaboration and working to improve and contribute to the creative commons and open source community.

  • Oh, this is quite interesting - never heard of it before. I think this could definitely work to an extent, but I am already so deep down the rabbit hole for MediaWiki. Plus, I think MediaWiki is actually a great fit for this type of community, because it is community created, and has rollbacks of edits, and the community itself is able to collaborate and contribute very easily. While it isn't in the fediverse, I think it will "essentially" be connected via the forum that is within the subdomain. The intent is for the forum and wiki to work side by side, and the forum will be the connection into the fediverse.

    Regardless though, neodb.net is really cool - thanks for sharing :) I'll definitely look into it more!

  • Sorry for the late reply, but yeah I tried both ways.

  • It's me, the same person - just commenting from Lemmy/piefed. hello me!

  • Oh, I'm dumb - that makes more sense. Thank you!

  • Because you mentioned it might be a bug, I want to see if I am doing this correctly:

    It says pending, and I remember this was one of the issues when I had bot fight mode on in cloudflare and the following of user profiles wouldn't work in /world.

    Is this the similar to the same issue?

    Is this how I would correctly be adding an incoming community to a "similar Communities" section?

  • Well, I'm glad I wasn't crazy then. :)

  • Yeah, but it was empty for me. Might require login or something. Or maybe there are just no related communities?

    Eh, either way - not a big deal lol

  • Ok, that's good news! Also, I checked the activitypub.space, and see they have a related communities section, but it wasn't clickable for me (maybe it just requires login, or some other simple issue inm missing) - regardless that is a great feature and might be a good way to pull content into the forum without muddying the content within my primary categories. :)

  • Thank you.

    1. I'll definitely check out Anubis and your configuration to see if it will work for my scenario.
    2. Ok, good to know - if it's simply a bug then that that's fine, mostly I wanted to make sure it wasn't an indicator that something deeper was broken or getting blocked in the communication.
    3. Sorry, I used the term instance when I meant community. But it sounds like the federation is more so to bring traffic into the forum, rather then out. Did I understand that correctly? If that is the case, then I may not opt to use it - as I was originally hoping for a way to push forum content into communities. I'll explore this further I guess - because I'm unfamiliar with relays and fedibuzz.

    Overall, I appreciate the detailed response :)


    [Edit, for archival purposes]: I looked into Anubis, and it looks like a great option, but I have my nodeBB forum installed via Cloudron, and just a quick rudimentary search reveals that it may be difficult to set up alongside Cloudron. This post: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/13957/deploying-anubis-ai-crawler-filtering-on-a-cloudron-server/7 shows an example of using a second vps to accomplish it, but ...well it requires a second vps. If anyone comes up with a solution in the future and stumbles across this post, I'd love to hear how you worked it out.
