I never got into mastodon because I couldn't connect multiple instances. I like this a lot about Lemmy so far (just here for a few minutes though).

Reading about the fediverse got me thinking. What other use cases could you think of? Maybe outside social media?

Would a fediverse password manager be more or less secure than some company owned pm?

How about "clones" of other social media like FB and Insta, TikTok?

What about a blogging community like Medium?

Other ideas?

@gredo There is a clone of #Facebook (actually 2 or 3: #Friendica, which uses AP, #Diaspora, using it's own protocol and #Hubzilla, using both AP and it's own, #Zot protocol).

Then there's #Pixelfed, which is an alternative to #Instagram

Edit: what I really find missing is an alternative to #IMDb

I'm curious, what would a federated IMDB add to the experience for you?

@gunnervi maybe being something like Goodreads but for movies, I think
