I've been exploring various Fediverse platforms and noticed we have alternatives for many popular social media sites:

  • Friendica (Facebook-like)
  • Pixelfed (Instagram-like)
  • Lemmy (Reddit-like)
  • Mastodon (Twitter-like)
  • etc.

But I'm curious: Is there a Fediverse equivalent to the classic MySpace, or its modern revival, Spacehey?

Spacehey Google Play Store

I'm talking about a platform that offers:

  • Highly customizable profiles
  • A focus on personal expression through layout and design
  • Music integration
  • The nostalgic feel of early 2000s social networking
  • etc.

Has anyone come across a project like this in the Fediverse? Or do you think there's potential for developing such a platform?

Alternatively, if that's too much work/hassle, has anyone ever considered reaching out to the SpaceHey team about the possibility of them potentially federating their platform? It could be an interesting addition to the Fediverse ecosystem.

There's been some talk about Spacehey Federation.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or any leads on this topic.

MySpace is so old that I don't know what it looks like.

~~I think you need triple backticks for that comment to render properly!~~

It is triple backticked. Working on my mobile client ~~haven't~~ checked on the website it works just fine.

Oh interesting, must be a fault with my client. I'll raise a bug!

visiting a profile was like visiting a wordpress blog with a budget of code snippets for little widgets and stuff

@astro_ray This is what it looks like: #^https://spacehey.com/profile?id=3178945

I will say two things,

  1. The UI is not bad, has a rustic feel to it
  2. No offense but your taste in music is kinda basic

@astro_ray It's not my profile. I just picked one at random. :)
