Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.
My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.

“Own their data” sounds interestingly nerdy - all the way down to the hardware on their bikes, or on a server they own ?cooperatively?, or what?
(Eta, oh, I see at least one hosting expert has already answered! Good stuff.)
@clew right now it refers to content you put online, like photos and posts you make about your long distance bicycle adventures.
long term, I'd love to see a federated version of Strava. every year they cut down their api access further and further. but it's our data and we should be able to share with any external apps we want.
I'm trying to figure out how I can use the tools I'm building to expose more cyclists to the fediverse and help fuel that demand.

> Is there a website that shows federated projects that people are building?
There's a few. I'll leave other maintainers to pitch their own, but I'm involved with;
https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/
... which is based on data gathering on this watchlist;
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediparty/wiki/ActivityPub-server-watchlist
FYI they both need some major updates, but I was recently shouldertapped to take over as Lead Goose, and we're working on it!

Let's make social media free, federated and fun! Fediverse.Party is your guide into the world of decentralized, autonomous networks running on free open software on a myriad of servers across the world. No ads and no algorithms. Join Fediverse and become part of the new interconnected Web!
Just added wanderer.to to that AP watchlist, and I'll add your project to our 'considering federation' watchlist for now;
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediparty/wiki/considering-federation-watchlist
Just so I can find you and this thread again. But as soon as you commit to implementing ActivityPub, please let me know, and I'll move gobikecamping.com to the main watchlist.
FYI This old wiki page is also heavily out-of-date and may be due for retirement. We're still deciding.
