This search engine treats the whole web as a unified ecosystem where I can navigate as a single unit, not simply a federation of separate servers. I strongly believe that this kind of thinking is the future of the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub.
If anyone else is doing work like this, please let me know. So far, I believe this search feature of #Emissary is the only one of its kind, and we should build a community that works to push this forward.

Just discovered Emissary. It’s a social web toolkit that’s “designed for end users, app creators, and hosting admins”. It’s a highly customizable and scalable ActivityPub-enabled server software with few dependencies.
Only two known servers currently use #Emissary, but one of them is highly prominent: bandwagon.fm.
This has lots of potential if you want to build federated social web software with a specific use case scenario in mind.
Here’s the website:
Here’s their Git repo:

And here’s their kanban board:
Huge thanks to @dansup for creating https://respectfulplatforms.org. This is the kind of declaration everyone should get behind.
Honestly, it's still a bit of a "to do" list for #Emissary and #Bandwagon. Moderation tools, in particular, are still lacking right now. But I'm going to work hard to complete these, because I believe every person - all 8 billion of us - deserves to use an Internet that values people over profits, privacy over censorship, and humanity over technology.

Quark as a community leader. Makes perfect sense.
Sisko meeting with Picard on the Enterprise. There is just a bit of tension during this scene.
Kira...."I suppose you want the office".
Sisko...."I thought I'd say hello first, and then take the office, but we can do this in any order you'd like".
Sisko saving Jake and having to leave Jennifer behind.....absolutely devastating to watch.
The Battle of Wolf 359.....as seen from Sisko's perspective in a flashback. Wow.
Poker game getting intense with both Wil and Tom at the table.
Tom...."You always had the better hand... in everything".
@puppygirlhornypost2 Of anyone out there knows #Go and is interested in contributing to Trust and Safety on #Emissary, please reach out! It’s an important component and I’d love to have more experienced hands on it.
I’m on board with lots of this. Mitra is fantastic. Intimidating, sometimes as a developer trying to make something unique.
And yes: unchecked power (corporate or otherwise) always goes badly in the end.
I would live a future where everyone self-hosted their own content. But today’s hurdles make this unrealistic for the vast 99% of the non-technical population. #Emissary aims for a middle ground that’s easy for non-techies yet portable to keep power in check.
As the Games Done Quick audience would say during a Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World speedrun: Orb!
When the Enterprise is away, Gul Dukat comes out to play.
Sorry friends, #Bandwagon and #Emissary are down right now for some important database updates.
In most cases, I would rather have scheduled this ahead of time, but unfortunately that was not an option today.
We'll be bringing the servers back up as quickly as possible.
Big thanks to @thisismissem for walking me through some of the nitty-gritty details of ActivityPub and the Fediverse.
Her help is already making a positive impact on my work on #Emissary -- so thank you very much. Please support her work!
@harce I'm building #Emissary, which is pretty close to what you're describing.
It's a full #ActivityPub server and CMS that lets you build custom applications using just HTML and JSON configs. https://emissary.dev
Right now, I'm building https://bandwagon.fm on Emissary, focused on musicians, and am planning to follow through with a custom apps for artists, blogs, event registrations, etc..
If you have bandwidth, I'd love to talk more about your ideas. I think Emissary could handle it.
