Potential Fediverse alternative to Ao3/SqWA? cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/53757573 Two months ago, I made this post: lemmy.world/post/50855395 In this community, about potentially either “colonizing”, or forking Squidgeworld Archive (alternative to the fanfiction site ao3). squidgeworld.org Apparently, ao3 has recently shut-down for 2-4 weeks: www.404media.co/archive-of-our-own-ao3-down-maint… nerdist.com/…/ao3-archive-of-our-own-down-for-two… My question is: Should we consider potentially making a Fediverse alternative to Ao3 / SqWA? If you head over to the Squidgeworld Archive website, it states that over 2,300+ ao3 users have already migrated over to SqWA from ao3. (Now it’s over 12,000+ in the last 20 hours ALONE.) Just imagine how many people could potentially be brought into the Fediverse, if there were a working federated alternative version of ao3 / SqWA. Or if Fediverse users, instead of creating an alternative, instead commited to “colonising” SqWA, instead.
