Are Reddit alternatives still a thing or did we agree to just accept Reddit? 😅

@thomas well popularity aside (compared to masto at least) the amount of Reddit alts is approaching the Twitter alts now (just much younger):

Lemmy
Kbin
Mbin (fork)
SubLinks
Piefed
Azorius
(Plus some I prob forgot)
And if forums count, NodeBB, with discourse coming (?)

I just attended the "ActivityPub Based Forums and Threaded Discussions" call, and I really like their work on standardising the way, how forums federate.

Maybe we need something similar for blogging platforms.... /cc @help @write_as ghost

But I think I'll lurk around the community for now.... it's technically very similar... you have a post and reactions...

Sometimes I miss reddit but then I see articles like "AI Is Poisoning Reddit to Promote Products" and I'm convinced it will only get worse.

I think the and federations pose interesting questions about what platforms can and should be.

Do we actually want blogs and feeds of blogs folded into a mastodon/microblog social feed?

Do we want to read and comment on blogs on mastodon?

Do we want all the diversity of the fediverse fed into a single platform's UI and hope that it works well?

Are we worried that some choices by our platform or instance admin might hinder this process?

I'm rather skeptical.

mima,

@maegul

I think the fedi needs to be more about clients/apps than it is currently.

Agreed, and I kinda touched on this earlier about how the #Threadiverse should've simply been a frontend where people just use their main fedi account instead of having to create another account for forums in a link aggregator... ​:sagume_think:​

Tbh all the #fediverse implementations in the first place should've been backends first and foremost. Why should I not be able to have #Misskey's frontend in #Mastodon or #Pleroma? And the other way around too. This does mean that we will have to all agree on a common client API and MastoAPI will dominate, but I'd rather have Mastodon dictate client API than fediverse implementations. ​:seija_coffee:​
