Earlier this year I gave this talk which is about how programmers can get the most of the Fediverse, particularly for dotnet/MAUI developers - some of the killer features which are available and how to use them. The focus of the examples are with dotnet/MAUI, but these things would undoubtedly also be available for other languages/ecosystems, I was just using dotnet/MAUI to illustrate the underlying functionality available to us here. This recording would be good for anyone who isn't familiar with these features (maybe anyone you want to convince to come here, or just if you feel you don't know everything that is available).
The first part of the recording is a different talk about MAUI, and the first link below will be where my talk starts, and then some more links for other key points, if you just want to see the parts you don't already know about.
Following these recording links will be links to resources that I talked about...
