Ok I see. You mean this: Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers (English Edition)

I think I need to read more solarpunk in general to get inspiration.

Thanks. It was due to me using a wrong port. Its working now.

Sorry for the inconvinience

Ja stimmt, Novelle trifft es eher. Die einzelnen Teile sind aber einigermaßen abgeschlossen. Man kann es also in Häppchen lesen.

Hab noch nicht für mehr als den Anfang Zeit gehabt, der klingt interessant.

Danke :)

Technical innovations are often named after representations from nature or society. Take the paper bin on windows or the whole file system. These are all metaphors for complex concepts.

Could be that federation will be the metaphor to go but I think there are better ones out there.

I like druids from an asthetic point of view, although I don't want the Fungiverse to become something that you have to reach some kind of higher state of mind to join. It should be simple. You eat a mushroom and that's it, you're in. Druids could of course just be parts of myzels in the Fungiverse.

Also: if you want specific feedback, id be happy to annotate a copy of the story or something for you.

Thanks for the offer, though right now I'm reworking the story and there is much text flying around. Feedback is in general great, currently most helpful would be which parts are fun to read and which are boring.

Edited to add: i would leave the metaphore to the fediverse as unspoken-- i think the allegory works well and directly stating that it is like this real world thing would break some of the magic & lessen the potential for the allegory to work on multiple levels.

Fully agree, for the new version of the story I'm also going to make a new title without Fungiverse in it. The story should speak for itself.

Sounds cool, maybe I will check it out sometime

I was thinking the wise person wasnt necessary to join the fungiverse, more so that they explained some things. Like they arent necessary, just helpful. Just like how often people new to the fediverse need some help from existing members to get tips and information about it that they might not quite grasp at first.

Yeah ok, I get that. As long as it optional and not too pushy, I would be okay with that. Just a fan of self-exploration. But asking people can of course be a part of that.

Good luck on the edits! Im excited to read the next draft when its ready :)

Thanks, so far making good progress. Hope it will be ready soon :)

I think it's bigger than that. The verge says it will create an open social graph IN the web. I think it could have great potential to transform society for the better.

Your explanation makes sense but I think it doesn't convey the full potential of it.

Ok, yeah, I'm using a certiciate of my domain provider. Maybe that's the problem ... thanks! I will try to do it with letsencrypt/acme

Thanks. So nice to hear some feedback <3

You are right about the story. I crafted the whole thing a bit more hasty than the last ones. It should be longer and have an actual story and maybe some new characters. I also need to improve my writing. I tried a more playful style for this one, because its adventerous and so on, but its too inconsistent.

I'm thinking about extending and re-writing it, but am not sure if I will find the time. Thanks anyways :)

Ok, looks complicated :D But it sounds good. I will add it to my reading list. Thanks

I don’t really understand the question. Normally, I think of a story as emerging out of an idea, and a genre emerging out of a group of related stories.

That's why I'm basing it on Solarpunk and the stories of solar punk. I'm trying to build onto that tradition.

Right, this is well thought-through, but I will probably stick to my idea of the fungi-metaphor. I think it could be easier to understand for people.

Really like the town example; thinking of fediverse server as towns is cool. Although one shouldn't overdo it, because that's exactly the point of the Fungiverse/Fediverse: to connect people that are not locally at the same place.

I think adding an additional action is needed for defederation. It could of course be solved by many people concentrating on defederation, but then: what if a myzel has a leader. The members could just defederation without telling them.

I think it would be cool if leaders could be declared by them eating a certain mushroom, which grants them certain abilities like defederation. Of course, there might be myzels in which everyone can defederate. So basically the mushroom-eating-idea would allow more diverse forms of server-governance, which I think would be cool.

Yup

Ok, didn't know that. Can you give me some examples? I know that for example Half Build Garden has social media in it.

Ok, I see. To be honest, I didn't put as much thought in this than in the last stories. Maybe it would have worked if it was longer ... I will think about it! Thanks anyway for the feedback.

And it isn’t very Solarpunkish 😉

the use of “open web” etc makes it too up front as well

That's true. But otherwise, I don't think the idea would have come across

Well yes, but Solarpunk also supported dezentrality 😇

the use of “open web” etc makes it too up front as well

Sure no pressure!

Thanks for the feedback.

I really enjoyed that! I think the first section was the strongest to me personally – it was more grounded in real events, while some of the other sections lost some of their power by becomming too abstract. I did enjoy the aspect of different interconnected characters setting up eachothers stories.

I totally get that. Thing is I wanted to depict some of the drama from the Fediverse in there and then you have to necessarily get a little abstract. I tried to include some of the drama happening here on Lemmy, however, its still not as exciting as I would hope it to be.

I went ahead and shared it in my solarpunk bookclub, hopefully some more people will give it a read through!

That's great!

Also it might be worth crossposting to a solarpunk community, it really fits the vibe :)

Will do, will do

Yeah, probably. So you like the story in general its just too much going on?
