Re: "Federation with other Bubbles"
It would be great to reuse existing Gemini infrastructure for this. Antenna/Cosmos could be used as sources of "federated" posts that will appear in All Posts as new entries, to be interacted and commented on. Something to consider...

I think this is potentially bigger than a simple feature for Bubble itself. I would love to see a community drafted specification for how to federate servers, much like ActivityPub but obviously designed with light weight in mind. But like AP in that it could be a generic way to federate different types of servers, not just bubble. Something as well defined as Gemini itself, so that implementation in any language would be straightforward.

One server does not fit all, and in any case, the Bubble implementation is not meant to scale to very large numbers of users. It would make sense to think about solutions where instances federate with each other. In practice, this could be something as simple as the instances subscribing to each others' feeds, and allowing users to reference (and notify) remote users as well as local ones.
