[IMAGE ALTERNATIVE TEXT: “Unfinished Projects - In solidarity we can build a future that benefits us all."]

We have a new community and would love if you came and checked us out ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )

A couple of us have been working on a project that took quite longer than we expected, but we finally have opened registration on our forum, and would love for you to come check it out if you are interested :)

Our intent: We are trying to create a community focused on collaboration and genuine connections to create and make things with others. From software developers to artists, to handicrafts, and etc. We are working on a public wiki that can be used for creators to display and collaborate on each others projects that are openly licensed.

We want to create a community that is different than the much of the fast paced, superficial communications that happen on modern day social media - and instead try to build lasting connections where creative people and projects can grow and contribute to the commons.

From our "About Page":

An unfinished project is a seed that someone else can water when you no longer have the time or the tools.
The community thrives when we treat every piece of unfinished work as a stepping stone for the next person. You don’t need a long-term commitment to make a difference. Whether you finish a single page on our Wiki or solve one small problem in the Forum, you are making a project "slightly less unfinished" than it was yesterday.

We still have a lot of work to do to improve our platform (primarily our wiki - which is invite only until we ensure everything is working and in order), but we figured it was time to open up registration on our forum and see if we can get our few first members to help establish our community and maybe stick with us through a few more hurdles until we get everything more polished.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in being a part of, and are willing to stick around as we polish things up and try to grow, we would love to have you :)

I hope to maybe see one or two of you over at our federated forum!

PS: We will eventually be looking to "partner" with some other federated communities that share our values, so if you have a community that would be a good fit, feel free to reach out - as it would be great to have a network of communities that can support each other and provide value for the members.

I'm a bit unclear about how this federates. Shouldn't there be a c/unfinishedprojects?

[–] UnfinishedProjects@piefed.zip 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

So it is on its own instance - the forum acts as the instance and each category within the forum acts as a community. So for example !announcements@forum.unfinishedprojects.net is one of our categories.

@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?

Why must everything federate? Would you federate a car?

[–] eskimofry@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

YES. I would federate a car. Not sure about other people.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 5 points 14 hours ago

Because this is c/fediverse? Because OP taged their post with #federated?
