I’ve been running https://cupid.careers/ for some years already, and now I’ve got the first step into integrating with ActivityPub. The site now has a AP service which posts questions to the overall Fediverse and people can follow from their preferred AP platform.

There is a lot more to be done. The questions are written by me and therefore completely focused on tech workers (something that I would like to change and help people in all sorts of industries). The website itself is pretty bare-bones. But the idea that one can actually use AP as a “proper” application protocol instead of just emulating existing centralized social networks really appeals to me.

This might be a “job site”, but the idea is that it can be useful and helpful even for those who are happy at their jobs. E.g, if your company is hiring and you want to help bring people that are like-minded, it would make perfect sense to join in and browse around.

It can be what LinkedIn should’ve been: a tool for networking, without the tools of self-promotion and clout-chasing.

Unfortunately, Lemmy does not follow AP users and it still does not know how to handle polls, so you will need an account on some of the micro-blogging platforms.
