However, interoperability is key. An XMPP, Matrix or any other world of federating apps may be covered only if any of them start federating with existing Fedi networks or if Fedi projects integrate these other protocols. TL;DR: bot-like functionality of reposting from some networks to others is not considered interoperability. Two-way interoperability with support of basic things (limited view messages, likes, reshares, comments) is expected. #### Criteria for software being a (typical) social network, to be added to main page of this website 1) Content is sent / received as a whole post, can be read and interacted with *from within another network* - 2) The app should allow certain actions: + 2) The app should allow at least some of these actions: * follow * be followed * post a reply * receive a reply - * repost - -#### Tracking fediverse app development - -✒ A general [watchlist of fediverse client apps](https://git.feneas.org/feneas/fediverse/wikis/watchlist-for-client-apps) is being maintained on this wiki.
