I'm active in the Secure Scuttlebutt community, which is a decentralization platform that some people from Activity Streams communities might also enjoy. One of the clients has a book review feature which is great and I wish was incorporated by more clients. Something similar to that could work well as a small ActivityPub app. |

I haven't yet dipped my toes into Secure Scuttlebutt -- I joined a Mastodon instance once upon a time, but it didn't hold my attention too well. I've always associated Secure Scuttlebutt with a similar (albeit more distributed) micro-blogging thing, but that's probably my own ignorance speaking (nothing in the protocol seems to limit interactions to this, based on a quick skim).
Nothing against micro-blogging in particular, I just personally find the signal-to-noise ratio suboptimal (though maybe I'm just on the wrong networks, following the wrong people!). I'd love to build something into my book-tracking app so I could, like, share a list of books I have on my shelf that I would be willing to lend to people, or a list of books I'm interesting in reading that I could borrow from people, or books for trade, or just reviews (I've been doing a bit of pipe dreaming lately). I'm gonna dig a bit more into the Secure Scuttlebutt and ActivityPub protocols to see if this is something that could feasibly be done.
