A quick look into Fediverse networks

Work in progress

Important

Logo icon on Pleroma page is unofficial, with @lain's permission used until the official logo is chosen
"World" text on postActiv page is by @Maiyannah Bishop, main postActiv developer

Goals

Road Making: Provide links to information scattered around the internet. Make it easier for newcomers to get acquainted with the idea in general and with every federated network in particular.
Team Building: Unite all federated social networks under 'Fediverse' name. Highlight the sense and spirit of a Fediverse community.

Contributing

All the files you need are in /source/_data and /source/_posts folders

Help welcome with the following pages:

'Knowledge' page: two stub articles "FAQ for newcomers" and "Why use federated networks" waiting to be written.

Structure

Fediverse page

Data located in: /source/_data/fediversei18n.json file.

Chronicles page

Latest news about major releases, development, interviews, articles, related stuff.

Data located in: /source/_posts folder

All posts are available via RSS subscription. 'Preview' is rendered on Chronicles page (limited ammount), text after metadata is shown in RSS (unlimited).

Every post must have the following metadata:

layout: "post"
title: "some title"
date: 2222-01-25
tags:
    - pleroma
preview:
  "short gist..."
url: "https://test.com"
lang: en

Tags: networkName / fediverse; most posts will have 1 tag Preview: limit 150 characters - for "regular" and "wanted" posts, limit 350 characters - for "featured" post.

Optional metadata:

wanted: true
featured: true
banner: "pic.jpg"

Wanted and featured can't be mixed and are temporary, should be removed from older post when creating a new "featured" or "wanted" post. banner: required for "featured" posts only.

Knowledge page

Data located in: /source/_data/knowledge.json file.

Portal page

Supposed to link to a page helping to choose any pod on any network (just-an-idea for now)

Theme File Structure

Develop styles in /themes/starter/assets/scss
Develop scripts in /themes/starter/assets/scripts

Setup

Run npm install in main project's folder
Run gulp in /themes/starter folder
In second terminal, run hexo server in main folder, to start the server and preview at localhost

Translating

Only English version. Adding another language requires additions to _config file and /themes/starter/languages folder.

Mandatory for translating:

create lang folder (/source/*lang*)
common strings (/themes/starter/languages/en)
/source/_data folder: fediversei18n.json, worldi18n.json

Translating Chronicles or Knowledge pages content doesn't make sense. They will be mostly a collection of external articles.
