# 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.

## Goals
2019-02-14 17:36:53 +00:00
- Come up with a name / codename.
- Must have communities.
- Must have threaded comments.
2019-02-15 18:27:37 +00:00
- Must be federated: liking and following communities across instances.
## Questions
2019-02-14 17:36:53 +00:00
- How does voting work? Should we go back to the old way of showing up and downvote counts? Or just a score?
2019-02-15 18:27:37 +00:00
- Decide on tech to be used
- Backend: Actix, Diesel.
- Frontend: inferno, typescript and bootstrap for now.
2019-02-14 17:36:53 +00:00
- Should it allow bots?
2019-02-15 18:27:37 +00:00
- Should the comments / votes be static, or feel like a chat, like [flowchat?](https://flow-chat.com).
