I want more federation! Federated browsers? Federated github? Federated hosting providers? Federated internet? Where are them? (feddit.it)

Since being on Lemmy I feel like I finally found a place I can consider more similar to my home on the web.. I feel like this is the real decentralized web, not the next capitalism nightmare which is the so called "web3"..

Give me some guidance! How is the federation thing going? What are some cool projects I need to know about? I know Lemmy, Friendica, Matrix, Bookwyrm, Mastodon, but I'm sure there's more!

A few I've been interested in.

I just saw this project literally today, a federated search engine using web rings - https://gitlab.com/Doomsdayrs/mengzi
Ibis is a federated wiki by the Lemmy dev - https://github.com/Nutomic/ibis
WriteFreely is a simple federated blog designed around writing - https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely
Funkwhale for music hosting (I'm sure I heard rumours about it stopping development but it still seems active?) - https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale

One I'm surprised I haven't seen (although might inappropriate for the standard, no idea) is an activitypub messenging service like Matrix

The developer of Pixelfed - an Instagram-alike (and now Loops.video - a TikTok like platform) announced that he is working on an ActivityPub messaging service called "Sup." There's nothing else really known about it except that he's developing it. AP would actually work fairly well as a messaging protocol aside from the lack of end-to-end encryption, but that too is being worked on.

I thought I had heard about him making that before but no amount of searching seemed to find it... I guess thats why, I was thinking I had just made it up or something.

I know how that is! Seems like I'm constantly wondering if I just made this or that up. 🤷🏻‍♂️
