They’re also willing to set up creators and developers. They can apply to another form separately and be matched to someone.

The team idea is to pair content creators, bring them in, have those creators tell developers where they’re hitting rough spots. It doesn’t need to be like “Build me TikTok” or something. It’s to find the tools that are missing. And getting content creators using the Fediverse and working with a developer, they can bridge that gap. And it doesn’t have to be software purely for content creation.

Say a content creator wants to run their own Lemmy. So they team up with the Lemmy devs. They start using Lemmy, giving their thoughts, bugs, feature requests, etc. The Lemmy devs then work on that. That’s it. Right now, we don’t know what tools are missing from other platforms. Majority of us just exist here.

I make content for the fediverse, about the fediverse. Fireside Fedi and Works On My Machine Live are on tubefree.org, my Peertube platform backed by my public charity BT Free.

I’m already trying to reach out to fediverse developers to see if anyone is interested in applying as a team and then coming up with content for them. Not that the grant HAS to be that way. Just what I do. :)
