Hello all. Do you any any #federated alternative to Github Gist?
#fediverse #snippet_sharing #snippet #code_sharing #code #snippet #programming #development #github #gitlab #gist
@farooqkz just make another repo? Or use pastebin? Not sure exactly what you mean.
@lucifargundam @farooqkz for me it sounds like selfhosted services. Cause there are many ways to selfhost gitea/gitlab/hastebin and so.
This is what I think fits. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But same as Lucifar I'm also not exactly sure.
I think you Lucifer don't know what I mean because you never worked with Github Gist.
Gist can be seen as some sort of special repo(actually it's a git repo) but optimized for sharing small pieces of code(usually a single file). A real repository would be an overkill for such a purpose and also it doesn't support comments the same way Gist does.
Think it of something like Mastodon but optimized for sharing small pieces of code in a single file or at most only a handful. People could comment, fav, boost, etc.
I believe ActivityPub can be used for such a purpose.
@farooqkz @theenoro @lucifargundam sounds like there’s some possible overlap with @forgefed there.
@max @theenoro @lucifargundam @forgefed
Just checked it out. Perhaps #gitpad must implement #forgefed instead of #activitypub ?
