A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.

Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Some friends have websites. I encourage them to do. But they have them only to publish contact info, opening times, and a couple of photos of their business. What would be the best fediverse platform for this? Of course being able to post/toot news every now and then, is also a good feature.

I don't think the fediverse has this, but I'm a bit confused why so many of these comments are puzzled at why you would want it. We have fediverse twitter, fediverse insta, fediverse reddit, fediverse discord, etc -- why not fediverse facebook/myspace/carrd? Where users could just have small personal (or corporate) pages about themselves that aren't as blog/news focused on the main(user) page.

I don't even think it would be a huge stretch to implement: a big focus on user page customization with a small microblog interface taking up a portion of the screen would do it. (Disclaimer: not saying easy to create, just not that far out of reach vs everything else the fediverse has).

I think Friendica fits that bill.

Mom, I want federated Discord!

We have federated Discord at home...

At home: Matrix...

Matrix is really closer to federated Telegram. It doesn't have servers in the way Discord does and has no support for voice channels, a major part of Discord.
