I made the mistake of following topics like "Technology" and "Web development" over on the birdsite and now my feed there is full of "insightful quotes" and "pithy statements" and other stuff I don't need. Every time they try curation it's just useless.

I'd love to see what community-based, federated curation could look like, where I can follow a topic curated by people whose judgment I trust.

@eloquence is there already some project working on the idea of federated curation?

@JohanEmpa There's probably some cool stuff happening in #ActivityPub land but I've not seen it yet. To some extent I feel the fediverse is still aping old patterns (which often don't work well -- the "Trending Now" section in Mastodon has largely been pointless for me) instead of creating new ones.

@eloquence @JohanEmpa You might be interested in #SkoHub which combines #SKOS and #ActivityPub: https://skohub.io

SkoHub

SkoHub seeks to implement a novel approach in syndicating content on the web by combining current web standards for sending notifications and subscribing to feeds with knowledge organization systems (KOS, sometimes also called “controlled vocabularies”)
