RetroLemmy
I discovered today that there’s a phpBB fork that was federated and a community is using the software. Looks like I’ve got another forum to join haha. It sucks that lemmybb isn’t being maintained anymore though… I had no clue someone managed to make edits to phpBB to make it fede...

Everiot
While browsing Reddit yesterday I came across a post in Reddit Alternatives for a new modern Imageboard. Everiot is a European based Imageboard but it looks like the staff uses AI moderation. I don’t think I’d join this one, I don’t really care for imageboards to begin with and i...

Vlare
This is just a tribute to what I think it was one of the most decent alternative video platforms ever existed.For those who never knew about it or never got to use it, it was basically a video platform but with some cool features from classic YouTube, such as full channel customi...

If you were around in the early days of the internet you probably remember Usenet groups. RootBadger is a modern approach to Usenet groups that I just found out about today. I figured I would share this platform with everyone here....

Convoro
This is a modern forum software that can be installed on shared hosting! Most modern forum platforms like NodeBB and Discourse need to be installed on a VPS since they require Docker to function, but this one is written in php. Though the author did use AI, so this was vibe coded...

Why do you use alternative platforms?
I figured I would start creating threads based around general discussions of alternative platforms, OS, etc. instead of just making threads listing other platforms that exist. So what made you decide that you wanted to start using alternative platforms? Were you tired of the mode...

Tildes
This Reddit alternative really reminds me of the old Reddit from the early 10's, which is the time I joined Reddit. There's also no ads on the site which is great to see. I also prefer the threaded style Tildes has compared to nested over on Reddit. I'm going to sign up and try t...

There's a guy over on Forum Promotion who created a retro like website complete with it's own social media network and forum. He's also working on implementing a monster collecting feature too which is pretty cool! I figured I would share this platform with everyone here in case...

Plato
I was just browsing the subreddit "Reddit Alternatives" and came across another platform called Plato. Gotta say it seems a bit too barebones at the moment, the only two subs that are currently on Pluto are titled "agora" and "product release". I'm not sure if users have the abil...

Discuit
I forgot about this Reddit alternative, I have an account over there too. I should log back into my account and see what's going on over there. Have you used Discuit before? A few years ago I feel like a lot of Reddit Alternatives were popping up, sort of like what we're seeing w...

Prata Video
Looks like the guy behind Prata Chat is also working on their own video hosting platform too! I've signed up and uploaded one video so far, there's only a handful of videos on the platform at the moment. It does seem a bit promising, the UI is very minimal but that's okay in my o...

Rumble
Rumble is a free speech video sharing platform that's been around since 2013. Though it's not as popular as Youtube of course it's got a pretty large userbase. In 2020 it gained traction from Republicans because Devin Nunes' Youtube channel kept getting censored. Do you use this...

Odysee
Are you looking for a new video host that's decentralized? Odysee might be what you're looking for. You don't need to host anything yourself, and their moderation isn't as strict as YouTube's. Odysee believes in freedom of speech, and it's also part of the LBRY Blockchain so if y...
