Friendica VS apollo-backend

You might want to look into some of the Facebook-like open-source social networking programs like Friendica, Hubzilla, Libervia, or GNU Social

I think that Friendi.ca is the fediverse equivalent of FB, in the same way that Mastodon is to twitter. https://friendi.ca

In addition to what has been said, you can also use Friendica, another great decentralized alternative (server list). It supports RSS, along with being a regular social network.

facebook being whatever it is would be friendi.ca

Given the similarity to FB, what's the advantage over Friendica or Hubzilla? Both support federation with other servers and can be run as a closed community too.

The Fediverse has many different types of platforms, including video hosting on Peertube or Friendica which is similar to Facebook. Mastodon got the most publicity, but it only uses a fraction of the possibilities that ActivityPub offers.

or https://friendi.ca/

Friendica is powerful, but it's also very complex. If your primary goal for the server is simple discussions about your website, Friendica might be more than you need.

Are there any plans to set up some kind of presence in the decentralized fediverse (e.g. on Mastodon) or a community channel via the Matrix protocol? Services like Mastodon or Friendica are federated social networks licensed under FLOSS-licenses. Those "talk" to each other using open protocols like "ActivityPub" and/or "DFRN". Matrix provides similar functionality compared to Discord and is free (libre) and open source as well. Basing communication on free software can be seen as a political act. ;)

I believe this endpoint is the only way to retrieve json with posts from Reddit, so every single app would use it. Even Apollo used it, although it did it with OAuth. See this line:

Disclaimer: it's been quite a while since I've last looked into Reddit API, so I could easily be wrong.

I'd consider platform and infra tools the kind of projects that require DSA. As for product, this is the typical kind of projects I've worked on: https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend which doesn't have any LC stuff. But I get that things are very different in big tech / FAANGS.

Since Apollo’s backend server is now open sourced, it'd be great if we could install the server on a Raspberry Pi or something so one can get notifications and other features that rely on it.

5. Apollo Backend: - Set up an Apollo backend server using a community-driven platform like https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend. - Design and implement the backend infrastructure for SecurIoT, including data storage, authentication, and API endpoints. - Integrate the backend with the frontend components of SecurIoT. - Thoroughly test the backend functionality, ensuring it supports the required operations and scalability.

The Backend was open sourced to counter U/spez Bullshit arguments about inefficient code creating too many API requests

On this same call, Huffman claimed that Apollo employed "scraping", a technique of programmatically fetching a webpage to process its contents.[d] Scraping is largely considered bad practice in web resource development, as it is not using resources as they were intended, and can be costly to the party being scraped. This is especially true when the same data is available via an API (Application Programming Interface), which is the intended method of programmatically fetching website content. Christian refutes Huffman's accusation, and has open-sourced Apollo's server code to prove it does not scrape reddit. I have seen no credible claims or evidence that Huffman is correct.

You could totally do everything you want to, except it's not as simple as making Reddit API requests because there's this: https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend
