This search engine treats the whole web as a unified ecosystem where I can navigate as a single unit, not simply a federation of separate servers. I strongly believe that this kind of thinking is the future of the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub.
If anyone else is doing work like this, please let me know. So far, I believe this search feature of #Emissary is the only one of its kind, and we should build a community that works to push this forward.

Just discovered Emissary. It’s a social web toolkit that’s “designed for end users, app creators, and hosting admins”. It’s a highly customizable and scalable ActivityPub-enabled server software with few dependencies.
Only two known servers currently use #Emissary, but one of them is highly prominent: bandwagon.fm.
This has lots of potential if you want to build federated social web software with a specific use case scenario in mind.
Here’s the website:
Here’s their Git repo:

And here’s their kanban board:
Quark as a community leader. Makes perfect sense.
Sisko meeting with Picard on the Enterprise. There is just a bit of tension during this scene.
Kira...."I suppose you want the office".
Sisko...."I thought I'd say hello first, and then take the office, but we can do this in any order you'd like".
Sisko saving Jake and having to leave Jennifer behind.....absolutely devastating to watch.
The Battle of Wolf 359.....as seen from Sisko's perspective in a flashback. Wow.
Poker game getting intense with both Wil and Tom at the table.
Tom...."You always had the better hand... in everything".
Big thanks to @thisismissem for walking me through some of the nitty-gritty details of ActivityPub and the Fediverse.
Her help is already making a positive impact on my work on #Emissary -- so thank you very much. Please support her work!
I'd just like to say: it's been almost exactly three months since @n00q proposed the idea for #Bandwagon at the FediForum conference.
And now here we are, getting the first few beta testers online.
That timeline (minus a two-week, tech-free family trip to Europe) makes me pretty proud of what #Emissary can do.
If you're a musician or indie band, I'd love to make a profile for you. Join the waitlist at https://bandwagon.fm
Wanna host your own bandwagon? I'd love to help set that up, too 
That was one hell of a DS9 episode. It's been forever since I watched it and I forgot how much I liked it. Probably one of my favorites of the series.
Good night #AllStarTrek crew. Stay safe out there.
Morn's first appearance!
Trying to imagine when I watched this when it first came on...did I think I needed a notebook to capture all the characters and their context? Probably.

This had to have been controversial to write. Beloved Picard at a disadvantage and kinda disrespected by a new key character. Someone had to think...isn't there a happier transition we could make?

The scene with Picard and Sisko....you can cut the air with a knife.
There's something to be said about that single horn playing during the intro theme.
HEY! Check out this update to my #Emissary demo I posted a couple weeks ago:
https://kumi.tube/w/pmqy4eUy6iz88Z6Rh1cM5K
We're working to make a #Federated alternative to #Bandcamp where up and coming bands can connect with fans and share their music on the Fediverse.
The progress is really encouraging, so it's time to get some feedback from real #musicians
My goal is to have something you could actually use in the next month or two. So please get your ideas in so's I can squeeze them into my launch calendar.
@alisynthesis @n00q Thanks, Allison. Until a few weeks ago I hadn’t looked into any of this 
But now I am familiar with #Faircamp
I love static site generators, but I don’t think they work for regular people - too much command line for grandma to use.
There is a place for an easy-to-sign-up website, though. So my current thought is to open source this #Emissary app for musicians, then also host it as a paid but really cheap service for musicians to use.
