Are there any innovative platforms in the Fediverse? (reddthat.com)

I've explored a few platforms within the Fediverse, but most of them seem to be inspired by and mimic existing mainstream social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook. While this familiarity can be comforting, I can't help but wonder if there are any truly innovative and original platforms out there that offer a unique experience.

What makes them unique? How do they reimagine the social media experience?

Maybe https://bonfirenetworks.org ?

This looks so interesting but after reading the homepage I still have no idea what it is. Is it like chatrooms?

Sounds like a bit of a Swiss army knife for the fediverse. This kind of thing may take off with developers but I'm uncertain what regular selfhosters need it for.

It sounds kinda like federated Myspace

The major difference is that it's modular. So you can pick and choose which traditional social network features you want to use.
