Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.

My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.

@spencexyz what is the platform behind the website? I can help with guidance.

@theraccoonbytes I would love any advice you have. The website is just a NextJS app that I've built. I'm starting to build a blogging platform around the map on the website.

I don't fully understand yet how I'd then get that on the fediverse. Do I fork an existing platform and build on that so that when you open one of these posts on my serve you can see all of the enhanced features, like mapping and gpx downloads?

I don't think I fully grasp how this is all wired up yet.

@spencexyz I created an article, well a series of posts, you may want to take a look.

It is one @blog but this is the direct link:

@spencexyz Have you found the #BikeTooter and #BikeNite folks yet? I think a lot of people are very tired of Meta right now.

“Own their data” sounds interestingly nerdy - all the way down to the hardware on their bikes, or on a server they own ?cooperatively?, or what?

(Eta, oh, I see at least one hosting expert has already answered! Good stuff.)

@clew right now it refers to content you put online, like photos and posts you make about your long distance bicycle adventures.

long term, I'd love to see a federated version of Strava. every year they cut down their api access further and further. but it's our data and we should be able to share with any external apps we want.

I'm trying to figure out how I can use the tools I'm building to expose more cyclists to the fediverse and help fuel that demand.
