the most similar one so far i can find would be piefed.
Know this isn’t a suggestion post but it made me think of what I wish was being worked on. Might as well try to tackle webdev and fail as I’m unemployed lol.
Kinda wish we had a torn like lemmy (im very late to discovering that game lol), some of its features are appealing, think itd be fun to gamify social media, like temp bans put users in jail and you could see all the users in jail currently (get real extra with it and let ppl vouch for ppl tying their account status to theirs for the remaining duration of the ban in case of new infractions and bail them out)
Piefed already does trust value, having different tags at different values that could be customized per instance could be fun. Like 10% troll - 100% saint on one.
Be a fun way to use a point type system on purely meaningless stuff, I do like that there is no realworld value at all in that game (bannable), just a fun little dopamine hit of numbers and images. Encourage donations through that.
Piefed, Mbin.
PieFed, Kbin died but lives on in its fork Mbin, Sublinks didn’t pan out but was started (the PHP code is FOSS), nodeBB, and flarum.
You may also occasionally see posts from Friendica or Mastodon that also use the ActivityPub protocol, though the barriers to sharing those with the Threadiverse are somewhat high.
Mbin, Piefed and NodeBB
Mbin can also be used for microblogging.
I don’t think Piefed supports microblogging
But it will be supported this year. It is on PieFed roamap for 2025.
Currentry PieFed support mastodon group : a.gup.pes.
The gup.pe groups are not Mastodon groups, but Activitypub groups that the immer.space project has created according to the standards To allow Mastodon users to easily create groups to use, which can be done by Friendica users and those of all link aggregator or forumverse platforms (from Lotide to NodeBB). Lemmy also supports them, although he does so in an unsatisfactory way.
the fact that it is in the roadmap is important, but it means that it is not there. Moreover, although piefed is a well-optimized platform, bringing the following of users will certainly entail a burden for the servers that host it And we will have to understand how much it is worth: one of the nice things about reddit like software is that you cannot follow other users 🤣
Yeah but mastodon plan to support group. Currently it exist at the form of an external service.
Considering PieFed fast development, it will be done. Lot lemmy admins are improving PieFed by sending us feedback and also opened a PieFed instance. :)
Yeah but mastodon plan to support group
Yes, but he’s been saying that for years…
I’m sure that when he implements groups he will do it in a way where they will be usable only by Mastodon users (a bit like Misskey did)
You are talking about Mastodon dev ?
Yes, of course 😅
Correct. Removed piefed. Thanks.
PieFed.
I’ll mention some dead projects, in case anyone gets an itch to pick them up…
lotide/hitide is a minimalist, text-only platform. It has been abandoned.
https://sr.ht/~vpzom/lotide/. https://lotide.fbxl.net/Sublinks was in the works, but it is on indefinite hiatus. As I understand it, the main dev became too busy IRL to continue work.

Thank you! I have been trying to remember the name of “that other” link aggregator since I first heard about it two years ago.
I kept thinking about it and getting it confused with Substacks.
Nothing never really happened to be honest
There’s NodeBB if you want a forum/BBS style UX for the threadiverse!
Brutalinks does not have separate communities, so it works more like HackerNews/lobste.rs
Tildes.
Not Fediverse, AFAIK.
Single admin calling themselves God iirc
