# Rust Reddit Fediverse (to be renamed later)
|
|
|
|
We have a twitter alternative (mastodon), a facebook alternative (friendica), so let's build a reddit alternative in the fediverse.
|
|
|
|
[Matrix Chat: #rust-reddit-fediverse:matrix.org](https://riot.im/app/#/room/#rust-reddit-fediverse:matrix.org)
|
|
|
|
[ActivityPub API.md](API.md)
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
- Come up with a name / codename.
|
|
- Must have communities.
|
|
- Must have threaded comments.
|
|
- Must be federated: liking and following communities across instances.
|
|
- Be live-updating: have a right pane for new comments, and a main pain for the full threaded view.
|
|
- Use websockets for post / gets to your own instance.
|
|
|
|
## Questions
|
|
- How does voting work? Should we go back to the old way of showing up and downvote counts? Or just a score?
|
|
- Decide on tech to be used
|
|
- Backend: Actix, Diesel.
|
|
- Frontend: inferno, typescript and bootstrap for now.
|
|
- Should it allow bots?
|
|
- Should the comments / votes be static, or feel like a chat, like [flowchat?](https://flow-chat.com).
|
|
- Two pane model - Right pane is live comments, left pane is live tree view.
|
|
- On mobile, allow you to switch between them. Default?
|
|
|
