WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
I'm hoping this concept takes off. This is the most prominent project in this space, Linen Think discord, but open source, indexable and not closed off unless otherwise specified by the people running the instance. Can even anonymize users if you so choose but the messages themselves can be searchable by the public. I think discord like communities already are the next thing in many ways, but its closed nature keeps it from getting as much regular viewership as say a subreddit, which is also indexable by the public web. I think it's the next thing because it takes what's good about reddit and discord and does away with a lot of their downsides. Oh it's open source too!
I'm in the same boat. I hope the Lemmy user base picks up (https://join-lemmy.org). It's basically a federated reddit. There's no single "official" instance. If you don't like one, you can create your own and because its federated, people on other instances can interact with yours, increasing the userbase without having to sign up to multiple websites. The underlying tech appears to be ready, just needs content and users.
Can we have a LemmyBB instance? Or maybe just classical Lemmy?
