Communal Bonfires; creating space for group-scale discourse on top of @matrix
https://blog.erlend.sh/communal-bonfires
Today we're pre-releasing Commune, our first foundational step towards a community platform built specifically for alignment with digital gardens.
Cyber-ecological messaging anyone?!
It's an evolving piece of software serving as the primary bonfire component of the overarching Community OS concept.
Any #matrix network hosts on the #fediverse interested in testing Commune?

Commune is an extension of Matrix to make rooms web-public and threads-enabled. Layered unobtrusively on top of your existing Synapse server; most of the setup can be left up to us.
We’d like to eventually be a plug-and-play extension for any Matrix network, including Matrix.org
..so as a first step, we wanna work on interop with the smaller #IndieWeb networks as our earliest adopters.
@erlend very nice, looking forward to trying! This seems to have some potential for convergence/federation with the [[Agora]] project which we are trying to build, would love to discuss opportunities for integration.
The Agora interacts with activitypub through bots currently, the main integration point currently is at the level of digital gardens hosted on git by default.
