#3DPrinting folks: Anyone interested in the idea of a #Fediverse model hosting site (like Thingiverse, etc)? I'm wondering whether I should expand @vandam (my self-hosted 3d library manager app) in that direction, and I'd be very interested in your thoughts: https://github.com/Floppy/van_dam/issues/1389
So I looked into this. Allowing users to upload with #IPFS, a decentralized protocol replacement for #HTTP. Currently, I am benchmarking it by replacing my #Redis servers with it, just because I can for a few weeks.
#ActivityPub can be extended to allow for some extra allocated fields, and a fork of #Mastodon can be made.
Users will be able to upload their designs, and hosting would be decentealized and automatically spread around all users.
It is possible. I will look into a prototype, allowing users to use a bot or something like @3dprinting to share their prints before going for a fork of #Mastodon. Also need to investigate existing Activity Pub solutions and would possibly use something like #Go for the backend.
I'm still deciding on the front end.
@Stark9837 @Floppy @vandam @3dprinting In principle you could just use #IPLD and #IPFS #DID. You'd still need a small amount of logic to implement #ActivityPub on that, but it would be very thin.
Layering ActivityPub on top of IPFS/IPLD is something I've been wanting to experiment with myself
