Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Would we still create Nebula today?

Honorable mention:
SuperHighway84 - more of a Usenet-inspired darknet, but I love the concept + the author's personal website:

Open source P2P alternative to Slack and Discord built on Tor and IPFS
While I do like the idea behind a P2P E2EE chat, I believe that unless you're willing to invest heavily into OrbitDB and IPFS, this project will stay niche at best.
The performance issues that come along with running OrbitDB/IPFS on a machine, let alone a mobile device, are still significant unfortunately. Adding Electron on top of what is already a heavy-weight application is probably going to make people's devices go brrrrr all the time. Not only that, but I would argue that for instant communication this stack might not be the best idea in terms of performance in first place.
Besides, the way IPFS has been (and still keeps) changing their dozens of libraries doesn't make development particularly smooth either. OrbitDB is always behind the latest IPFS version due to all these changes that are being introduced. Hence unless you're planning to allocate developer time on these two things as well, my guess is that you probably won't have too much fun with your back-end.
The integration with Tor is another thing that will likely be a time drain for developers, as other people here already pointed out, and that will lead to even more performance issues down the line.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the idea behind this project. However, I feel like the aspirations are unrealisticly high and the actual outcome might be realtively frustrating for the average end-user. Having that said, I would love my gut feeling to be proven wrong!
Disclaimer: I'm the developer of Superhighway84 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System#App..., https://github.com/mrusme/superhighway84), a USENET-inspired, uncensorable, decentralized internet discussion system running on IPFS & OrbitDB.

Ask HN: Is it time to resurrect a Usenet clone?
Someone created a Usenet-like thing on IPFS. https://github.com/mrusme/superhighway84
It's kind of dead. IIRC the dev put that on the back burner in favor of a new BBS-like app. https://github.com/mrusme/neonmodem

YouTube is seeming like a less and less viable platform... they should do the Patreon early-access and uncensored route
If anybody wanted to, anybody could start a RLM SuperHighway84 where we could just talk about RLM stuff all day.
-
We need a community archiving effort for YouTube channels. What's most crucial to protect and how do we get organised?
SuperHighway84 - Is this handy for organization? I like the usenet-style where it sorts itself if people use proper newsgroup names. If people used a 'youtube.channelname' format at least people could maybe scroll down to channels/videos people are talking about.
-
How do you/we share the stuff we hoard so those looking for stuff find it?
In my mind something like superhighway84 would be a better platform, then it's automatically organizing itself to some degree if people post in appropriate newsgroups. People looking for lost youtubers could post in youtube.channelName. That person looking for old VCDs & screeners could post in vcds.screeners.
- We have to prepare ourselves for the possibility that Reddit might try to pull a Tumblr soon
-
Showing off your hoard?
SuperHighway84 is like a usenet style board where people can create whatever newsgroups they want. Anybody could start a 'Datahoarder' highway.

10+ years of Sumo GONE
I like the idea of something like SuperHighway84 for talking about our collections. We could make one called YoutubeGraveyard or something. There's also r/DHExchange

What do you guys think? (Using ChatGPT)
Have you heard of SuperHighway84?

Daily General Discussion - June 16, 2023
For Reddit alternatives, it looks like https://saidit.net/ (https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) and https://phuks.co/ (https://github.com/Phuks-co/throat) could be viable alternatives. They're open source, have the UX features we desire (threaded, voting, sorting, collapsing).

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: 'It's time we grow up and behave like an adult company'
And while the content of the site is kind of... well, despicable and kinda fucked up, this project: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit has made tons of fixes and improvements to the code itself going forward, so there's one source of fixes/improvements to draw from, as well as a few other active forks.
- Reddit Strike Has Started

Popular Reddit client Apollo will shut down after talks over new developer fees got 'ugly,' with allegations of blackmail
In fact one site I found a repo for has done so and has made many fixes/improvements to that code -> https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit
-
Apollo Backend just made public, "The goal of making the code for this repo available is to show that despite statements otherwise by Reddit...
One codebase that could probably work is this one: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit but there are others out there.
-
Apollo will close down on June 30th
Why not point Apollo at a Reddit alternative, or use the open-source code for Reddit (or code like this https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) instead of shutting it down?
If Apollo's users (or a good percentage of them) moved over to an alternative platform, that would be poetic justice, at least.
-
There is an archive of the reddit source code. It is still available
saidit went down this path, and it was indeed a nightmare. what reddit had posted publicly was unusable and misleading, effectively token open source. if anyone is brave enough to try, they should check for fixes here: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit
-
Reddit may force Apollo and third-party clients to shut down, asking for $20M per year API fee
People have even forked reddit already (don't know much about that site) : https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit
