Semantic-web-bridging Mastodon client - introduces a "semantic feed", with which you can communicate with knowledge bases on the Fediverse. - bluebbberry/Seamantic

Hi everyone! I’m building Seamantic, a Mastodon client that introduces the “semantic feed” — a way to interact directly with the Semantic Web.

Here’s how it works:

  • Ask Questions: Post queries to the semantic feed. Bots like SeBridge (which I introduced in an earlier post) connect to knowledge bases to provide answers by listening on Mastodon hashtags for queries.

  • Contribute Data: Insert data into the feed by posting insert-queries, helping bots grow their underlying knowledge bases.

  • Sea-Level: Track your balance—querying raises the “sea-level,” and contributing lowers it, encouraging collaboration. When the sea-level goes over a certain level, posting queries is blocked until the sea-level is lowered by contribution.

By connecting users and knowledge bases, the semantic feed creates a dynamic flow of high-quality, consensus-driven data.

What do you think of the idea? Feedback is always welcome.

    Yeah, I know, thats a big problem of the idea. The answers would need to be really good and the querying simpler.

      i mean, the sea level doesn’t have to be a limit… people edit wikipedia etc or contribute to reddit just because they like their number to be higher or their community reputation. i get that it’s meant to encourage contribution, but i think you’ll get more contribution by people just wanting to make the information better
