  • bookwyrm

    Social reading and reviewing, decentralized with ActivityPub

  • Beware that Bookwyrm is distributed under the "Anticapitalist software license" [1] so you must be very veyr very careful before using it. It may be actually impossible to legally deploy it for a lot of people.

  • Socialhome

    A federated social home

  • That's what it is tho. You create a time-line filter that shows only posts containing those hashtags - is that not a subscription?

    There are also more literal implementations for this like SocialHome [1] where you can click + on hashtags you like and public post with them appear in your home timeline
