I’ve been exploring various Fediverse platforms and noticed we have alternatives for many popular social media sites:

  • Friendica (Facebook-like)
  • Pixelfed (Instagram-like)
  • Lemmy (Reddit-like)
  • Mastodon (Twitter-like)
  • etc.

But I’m curious: Is there a Fediverse equivalent to the classic MySpace, or its modern revival, Spacehey?

Spacehey Google Play Store

I’m talking about a platform that offers:

  • Highly customizable profiles
  • A focus on personal expression through layout and design
  • Music integration
  • The nostalgic feel of early 2000s social networking
  • etc.

Has anyone come across a project like this in the Fediverse? Or do you think there’s potential for developing such a platform?

Alternatively, if that’s too much work/hassle, has anyone ever considered reaching out to the SpaceHey team about the possibility of them potentially federating their platform? It could be an interesting addition to the Fediverse ecosystem.

There’s been some talk about Spacehey Federation.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or any leads on this topic.

    Sharkey is also for microblogging but it also has some extra features, including user sites that can be used as a kind of blog and it “can play module / tracker music files - can play Flash (swf) - (federated) listenbrainz integration, …”

    I haven’t tried these functions yet

    MySpace is so old that I don’t know what it looks like.

      Imagine a bright pink background with tiled rotating toaster gifs across the whole thing, with a couple panes saying you like Bloc Party over that
