A service very much like Instagram, but federated. There seems to be quite some enthusiasm around ActivityPub-based projects in general, also including Prismo, Anfora and Funkwhale.

Notion-like FOSS app
In my profession I’ve recently been assimilated into the Notion universe. It’s truly brilliant.
But it’s not free (as in freedom). So as I start to pour huge amount of work into structuring and using it, my woes of lock-in comes as expected.
There’s this whole new class of digital tools flexible enough to be shaped by non-coders for virtually any workflow: Notion, Airtable, Coda, Next Matter.
I sense that as the tools of this no-code movement develops further, users realize they don’t need to settle for other people’s workflow but can shape the tools to their liking instead of the other way around. Thus these tools may lay the groundwork for a new level of user expectancy, possibly leaving old rigid tools in the dust.
So, is there anything FOSS that can even begin to compare to Notion?

Expand Matrix app features
Looking around in the Matrix ecosystem one finds many interesting server extensions. For example, the native protocol bridging support being put to use by the many bridges available.
Looking at matrix-docker-ansible-deploy one gets a glimpse of what extensions are already available in for a production environment.
I've a wish for the Cloudron Matrix app to be expanded with more features. This will make the app more useful and better demonstrate Matrix's versatility.
Extensions of direct interest to me:
- synapse-admin
- synapse-simple-antispam
- email2matrix
- mautrix-facebook
- mautrix-telegram
- mautrix-whatsapp
- mx-puppet-instagram
- matrix-appservice-irc
- matrix-appservice-discord
- matrix-appservice-slack
- matrix-appservice-webhooks
Let's discuss what if any extensions are worthy of inclusion in the package.

Would be interesting to combine it with Gitea enabling a pretty serious code lifecycle platform.

RE: Jitsi Meet
As described here I expressed an interest in a Jitsi Meet app but I wasn't in a hurry.
Now I really need it. The pandemic is causing serious problems throughout the world and some centralized systems are getting really strained as everyone in self-isolation or quarantine moves to video conferencing.
Now would be an excellent time to push Jitsi Meet out the gates. I need to provide video conferencing solutions to several organizations. Please prioritize this if you can.

RE: Wireguard VPN
Wireguard 1.0.0 is now audited, released and included in the Linux 5.6. Time to get the app going!

RE: Jitsi Meet
In Sweden, online conferencing has increased 500% over the last week. Properly configured selfhosted Jitsi servers could play an important role for these usecases and for months and months to come.

RE: Better notifications
Thank you so much @fbaretls! Since Uptime Kuma has all the notification types I need (Matrix, really
) this solves my issue
See you in the co-olperative sector, @jdaviescoates

RE: Better notifications
Yes I realized I probably forked my initial request into two. For real-time uptime notifications Uptime Kuma etc will work.
For exporting the Cloudron web app notifications to RSS something else is needed.
Hello @jdaviescoates btw, long time no see

RE: Better notifications
Finding myself in need of this again. Can you make it possible to enable (token-protected) RSS feed for the notifications. With that it's easy to connect almost any service.
