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 Chatroom

TODOs

  • Create a markdown doc for ActivityPub actions: 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.

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?.
