Has the use-case for a _High-Integration [diaspora] + Discourse Plugin_\* been examined? I searched but wasn’t confident I didn’t miss something about it. The two look llke a synergistically perfect match, with the outcome greater than the sum of its parts, so to speak.

**Ruby Gem or a Discourse Plugin similar to the popular . . .**

**Slack + Discourse Plugin is another example**

Though Slack is emmensely popular, my preference is to put my energy into the social media alternative idea of **diaspora** \*.

I would be willing to financially contribute to the development of a seamless level of diaspora\* + discourse integration and by that I mean diaspora\* features appear within Discourse as an integral part of each User Profile instead of an external app with a SSO Trust Relationship.

Your thoughts anybody?

Sorry I’ve been away so long. Here is the \*diaspora forum.

The **[SUBVS.US](https://subvs.us)** proposal for the **Diaspora of Discourse** plugin with Diasora sidebars open and Discourse selected instead of the stock **Diaspora Activity Stream**  
Worth noting is this plugin automagically federates Discourse.

 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/b/ab591ba8bd4e5e9f30ad163ad78e20558cf9577a.png)  
Instead of static sidebars these have **Sliders ie Baby Hamburgers** on each side that can be set to open and close automagically or manually. In this mockup we see the Discourse forum is “In Focus”, the Activity Stream is always a toggle away from use.

A social media button would be accessible at all times within the editor.

The iconic share buttons look and work the same on every website. All of them are connected, and I simply propose making acess to that ecosystem possible from within a Discourse paradigm.
