    I’m like 99% sure that this is just WordPress with BuddyPress extensions. I could be wrong! But, if that’s the case, it’s likely all open source already. It might be interesting to see if they can get it working with the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress!

      hmm

      I’d say that I’m cautiously optimistic about this,

      • I just need more information about IFTAS Connect like:
      1. Why would I use this over Lemmy/Sublinks/BreezeWiki
      2. Where’s the source code and what’s the license?

      “Comments are closed.”

      Also seeing things like ^this is what gives me hesitation in being able to trust them

      • remember locked posts on Reddit and StackOverflow? yeah me too :/

      I like the idea behind the project,

      • but I just need more reasons as to why I can trust using this over what’s currently available

      Edit

      As of June 7, 2024
      Lemmy has implemented Local Only Communities

      • As this is already open source under the AGPL-3.0 License there is even less reason to blindly choose to go with IFTAS Connect unless more information is provided otherwise
