If you're interested in hosting a discussion based community similar to HN or reddit, I'm working on a project that might interest you. Link in my bio.

Thank you - I'm going to check it out. I also had a look at Lemmy recently which promises better fediverse support in the future. Is there a link to a live example? Didn't see one in the README

  Yes, sorry. https://littr.me https://littr.me However, fair warning, my project doesn't have yet federation enabled. It's on a backburner until I have a better handle on moderation.

I wish you all the luck in that. Every attempt at an AP derivative for voting has ended in scary ways.

  I consider myself to be pretty plugged in the AP ecosystem, yet I have no idea about what you're talking about. What happened?

    I remember 3 or 4 projects that were abandoned but Prismo is the one that stands out to me. https://fediverse.blog/~/Prismo/on-prismo-data-loss https://fediverse.blog/~/Prismo/on-prismo-data-loss

      My project predates prismo I think, and I'm committed to bring it to fruition. That might not be for a while though as I'm working on a lot of low level stuff that might help other developers with writing activitypub services.

What would be involved in hosting something like this? I'm always looking for stuff to host (and have been sick of reddit for a few years now), but anything I host would just be a server in my room on a residential IP, which may not have the reliability you want

  Sorry for the late-late reply, I am not very active on HN. Hosting this requires a go compiler mostly and patience to fiddle with the sources, or to pester me on the mailing list to write proper instructions for deployment. The little documentation that there is is hosted here[1]. [1] https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr/blob/master/doc/INSTALL.md https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr/blob/master/doc/INSTALL...
