Hi rambler,

nice to see this new site, and the quite frequent use of it. Really like the site as such, as well as the cross network thing you have set up here. Should you ever think about federation, please give us a call at the rocksolid forums.

cheers

Hey /u/trw, thanks for stopping by. I still need to read up on federated sites more, it's certainly something I've seen mentioned often but not something I'm personally all too familiar with beyond the most basic gist.

I'll add that to the list of things I should know more about, haha.

yeah, federation is a quite wide topic. in our case (rocksolid), we just feed all the messages received on the websites into newsgroups, and all the new messages from the newsgroups into the websites (so we bridge nntp and http). the postmill author(s) considered federation at one point (although with a different method), but dropped this part of the code later on.

btw: my original account was not accessible for me any more, so I created trwII.

cheers
