I'm actually working on something like that at https://github.com/mariusor/littr.go It's a link aggregator based on ActivityPub, the federation protocol used by Mastodon and company. I am closing to a 1.0 release, at which point I want it to be completely integrated in the global ActivityPub network and would be interactable with from most of the other platforms. (Basically if you have another valid fediverse account, you will be able to post/interact with littr instances) There are also several other projects in various states of compatibility and featurefullness that are working on the same idea. On the top of my head there's: - Prismo: https://prismo.xyz/ - Lemmy: https://dev.lemmy.ml/
