What should a fedipunk-novel be about? (fedipunk = solarpunk+dezentralized social media) (feddit.de)

I posted one of my stories here and got as reply that it was bio-punk, because it introduced the Fediverse as a fungi-network.

Now my question is: how should it be depicted in a solarpunk world, especially if it should be understandable to readers from centralized social networks without too much explanation (ideally none). If thought fungal networks would be the perfect metaphor here. Would love to hear some feedback on this.

I don't really understand the question. Normally, I think of a story as emerging out of an idea, and a genre emerging out of a group of related stories.

I don't really know what you're looking for. I think most solarpunk already has decentralized social media in it.

Ok, didn't know that. Can you give me some examples? I know that for example Half Build Garden has social media in it.

The main stuff I'm reading is unpublished, unfortunately. It was shared with me in a private group. I think one or two of the stories in the Solarpunk Summers anthology has decentralized social media.

Ok I see. You mean this: Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers (English Edition)

I think I need to read more solarpunk in general to get inspiration.

That's why I'm basing it on Solarpunk and the stories of solar punk. I'm trying to build onto that tradition.
