What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet? (lemmy.ml)

Pretty much in the title. Maybe you wouldn't even use it, but would like to simply see it exist for the sake of having a federated alternative.

For me, it'd be the following:

  • LinkedIn
  • Meetup
  • Tiktok

I am on the first two, but would prefer a federated alternative. I'm not on Tiktok, but would like to see a federated alternative.

I'll admit these might not be a good idea. But as a thought experiment, I'd be curious about the community weigh in on what you all think this might look like.

There actually is a fediverse TikTok equivalent being developed! I'm not sure what the current status of it is, but it does already have rudimentary functionality. I bet the developer(s) might appreciate some help working on it, if anyone has the time/coding skills/money/etc to contribute. Somebody else mentioned Tumblr, and that exists too! So many cool projects being worked on, I regularly check this list to see what's new, and it's really heartwarming to see all the work people are putting into making the fediverse such a awesome place. There's even a Tinder-esque dating app!

Personally, equivalents I would love to see include:

  • Archive of Our Own
  • RPC/F-List/roleplay platform
    • (I'm actually trying to work on one of these myself, but I'm an amateur so don't get your hopes up lol)
  • Etsy
  • Ravelry
  • A search engine
    • (And not just a metasearch using the same index as Google/Bing/etc)

How do you pronounce "Alovoa"?

TikTok is a sticky wicket, because video is so heavy and sensitive to network performance. You can maybe federate video, but there's definitely not going to be small instances.
