What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?
Pretty much in the title. Maybe you wouldn't even use it, but would like to simply see it exist for the sake of having a federated alternative.
For me, it'd be the following:
- Meetup
- Tiktok
I am on the first two, but would prefer a federated alternative. I'm not on Tiktok, but would like to see a federated alternative.
I'll admit these might not be a good idea. But as a thought experiment, I'd be curious about the community weigh in on what you all think this might look like.

Bandcamp
There is at least one https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/
Is it federated? Or is it just a solo version for anybody who wants their own solo bandcamp?
AFAIK it is in beta but developer planned or already implemented federation. If I'm wrong, I think @freebliss could correct me.
@TadeuszBonawentura @z3rOR0ne @small44 It's more the "your own solo bandcamp" thing to paraphrase @sentient_loom. From the technical side, given it's a static site generator, it can not technically act as a server for anything, including federation. It could act as an activity pub client technically, but it's an open research question how that could be interesting. So for now no plans and no implementation, but I'm keeping tabs on ActivityPub and at least thinking about possible directions.
I love bandcamp as it is, but this is an amazing idea.
