Today as I was searching for interesting communities to join I suddenly became saddened as I remembered this app that I spent hours using. StumbleUpon. When it was young it was the app I spent the most time on waiting between classes. just finding something interesting was always worth it.
The app is not what it used to be. I went to stumbleupon.com just to see and its all corporate. I’m sad because I kinda want StumbleUpon for the fediverse. Maybe I don’t want to search for hours looking for communities to join, mastodon users to follow, or pixelfed instances that may have great photos. Maybe I want StumbleUpon for the Fediverse. I could connect it with any federated account, stumble upon something interesting, and subscribe. How could we go about building that?
What are your thoughts?
The Reddit communities are opening back up and the mods are getting replaced. I don’t think there will be many more Reddit refugees coming unless the company does something stupid again.
Like withhold the official app icon behind premium?
Unless?
