By novel I mean not emulating an existing popular platform, e.g. Lemmy-Reddit, Mastodon-Twitter, etc.

    There’s actually an exhaustive list of Fediverse software and tools listed on Fediverse.Party.

    You can sort by category, protocol, license and code language.

    Socialhome with its tiled display of posts
    Bonfire, which is modular, and will be available in many flavours (for Open Science, organisations or simply a social network)
    Mobilizon - events and groups.
    Gancio - events, published anonymously. Instance can be followed from Fediverse as an account.
    Bookwyrm for books
    Postmarks - a federated bookmarking website
    Funkwhale - for uploading and listening to music
    Castopod - Wordpress but for podcasting?

    Let me think…

    • Flohmarkt is like Craigslist or eBay
    • Honk - Ultra-ultra minimalist
    • Vocata - a general C2S-enabled server that allows you to throw any kind of Vocabulary you want at it. Could be useful for mocking up client apps.
    • Wordforge - federated novel-writing
    • SkoHub - Some kind of federated knowledge discovery system?
    • GreatApe - an OBS-like federated video thing that you can have live audiences with.

    That’s just what I could find from scrounging around, I know there’s more.

      Thanks! Er…What does C2S in this context mean? I read over some of the details on Vocata (it sounds really cool!), but remain unsure what’s meant by C2S here.

        Basically, it’s the second half of ActivityPub that’s for mapping an instance to clients. Most platforms on Fedi use bespoke APIs or copy Mastodon, but C2S is kind of more fluid and lets you build custom experiences and logic that hooks into it?

        What’s cool about Vocata is that you can kind of just make up the vocab and activity you send out the Outbox. Vocata just shrugs and says “whatever, that’s valid.”

        It could be brilliant for prototyping.

    Kbin/Mbin is like a hybrid of Reddit and Twitter. You can have both a content aggregation and a microblog system at the same time.
