I can only assume it was an engineering challenge of some sort?

I would say so, James Bruton has some videos of the type "let's see what happens if I try this very impractical idea".

There’s be zero use for it as it’s presented,

Agree. For me, the fun this is that it's not a 100% fail :D.

I'm new here, and with 2 negative votes, I must ask: is there something wrong with the post? Let me know if it doesn't fit and I will delete it. Thanks.

Indeed, and the quokkas are pretty cute too :).

Just in case there is any doubt, I added [Not OC] in the title.

Some very good answers in this post: I'm aware of kbin, mastodon, and lemmy. Are there any other federated applications out there? : nostupidquestions, some random copy&paste:

Here's a list of 130: https://the-federation.info/#projects

From What other kinds of servers are on the Fediverse? | Fedi.Tips – An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse:

As well as Mastodon, there are lots of other server types on the Fediverse, for example:

• BookWyrm – A social reading platform, an alternative to Amazon’s GoodReads

• Friendica – A general social network with no character limits, sort of like Facebook used to be on its older interface

• Funkwhale – Music and podcast storage and sharing

• Kbin – Link aggregation and discussion, sort of like Reddit

• Mobilizon – Event organisation, the Fedi’s alternative to Facebook Events

• OwnCast – Video livestreaming with a chat window at the side, very much in the style of Twitch

• PeerTube – YouTube-style video sharing site which uses P2P technology to allow even small servers to have videos go viral, as the more people view a video the more bandwidth it gets

• PixelFed – Photo sharing site, similar in style to Instagram and Tumblr

• WordPress – Independently hosted WordPress blogs can be turned into Fediverse servers using a special plugin

• WriteFreely – Minimalist blog where focus is on the text, like a calmer version of Medium

…and that’s just some of them! If you’re a techy person, you can see more comprehensive lists of server types at FediDB and delightful fediverse apps.

What I'm getting is that using "to me" as the default is a safe option and the use of "for me" is more nuanced (... and I don't understand in which sense).

Thanks!

Could you add an example of the passive / active difference? Because it's the opposite of what I understood from Hawke's comment.

Thanks for the help!

That makes sense!
So "for me" implies something is forced upon you, and it has nothing to do with what your opinion is about that thing... right?

Thanks!

And "to me" sounds natural in all of them?

Thanks!
