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?

Owncast is rather interesting to me. Self-hosted streaming platform that can use the ActivityPub to publish streaming notifications, if desired.

I stream on Owncast and really enjoy it. One of the easiest installations I've ever had with software. And despite what lots of folks think you don't need a million dollars to stream to groups of folks.

Full disclosure I run the [email protected] community and actively promote it on Matrix if anyone is interested or need help. :-D

I'm setting up some things for myself before I start proper streaming but little test streams I've done have been very successful!

And I've subbed to the community, so really appreciating the advertising. Cx
