By novel I mean not emulating an existing popular platform, e.g. Lemmy-Reddit, Mastodon-Twitter, etc.

    There’s not a single pod provider

    Not for Solid, no. The ActivityPods site, however, features a prominent “Create your pod” button that leads to the mypod.store website. I interpret that as a single provider, but feel free to dudesplain to me how I’m wrong.

    It does what it states it does. A platform/client needs to build on top of it.

    Oh, okay. So it’s currently a staircase leading nowhere. I see the functionality in that. Thanks again for the valuable “well actually” snark.

    I apologise that I didn’t provide a notice that I’m not a qualified expert and didn’t reach out to the developers before writing a f——ng comment on Lemmy.

      You don’t need to be qualified but also not a need to spread false information. That’s weird and Twitter behaviour. You could’ve asked questions. You could’ve said “ I may be wrong…” The project is new. There is a single provider due to that reason alone. Once adopted there will be more providers.

        …and that’s a more reasonable reaction than leading with “FULL OF MISINFORMATION”. Dude, I’m an end user that tried out this project — which encourages signups without any heads up that it’s at an early stage and still needs other projects to work — and I shared my honest experience.

        If that’s not what you wanted to hear, sucks to be you. I was not aware that I was posting to the ActivityPods Developer sub. I can go out in the street and be called an asshole by strangers should I ever want to, but I don’t expect that kind of out-of-the-blue tone policing in a community that I’m actively interested in. That, my new friend, is weird Reddit behaviour and not a good look.

        I will certainly avoid sharing any perspectives I may have with you going forward. Good day and feel free to block me.
