Smithereen

https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen A Facebook-style ActivityPub server. Has wall posts, groups, and events. Not yet "ready" — 1.0 would need much better moderation tools, photo albums (with tagging), discussion boards (in groups), and a client API. Direct messages are a work in progress right now. I myself use it daily for my participation in the fediverse.

Unfortunately I don't think it fits any of the projects I work on (and I don't use VSCode to begin with, never had it installed, bit I do see an IntelliJ plugin as well). I have one project that's a server application (https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen), but since it uses lots of custom stuff on top of the Spark micro-framework, your plugin would probably not work on it. I imagine it does expect projects to be structured idiomatically for the framework they use, at least to some degree. Spark also doesn't know anything about databases, so that is all custom as well. Oh and I also hacked it a bit with reflection to allow streaming responses.

I'm building a fediverse project that aims to fill this exact niche. It's basically a recreation of an early-ish version of VKontakte (Russian Facebook) but federated and in green instead of blue. It's not really ready yet, and there are lots of important features missing, but I do use it daily for my primary fediverse account. I, too, am sick of all the existing social media companies trying their damnest to cater to the entertainment use case no one ever asked for. https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen

I'm building an ActivityPub thing of my own: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen It's not quite ready for mainstream use just yet, but I'm getting there. The next update will improve moderation tools by a lot. One after that will, at last, add private messages.

I'll keep building my federated Facebook replacement. https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen
