It looks pretty neat and has an Android and IOS app. Let everyone know what you think about this site in the comments if you end up checking it out.

¿Para que sirve Wafrn? ¿Es navegador? O ¿es una red social? Gracias

es un clon de tumblr hecho por un tio que habla de si mismo en tercera persona por razones cómicas. Conecta con mastodon y blueskyy y lemmy (otra alternativa a reddit). El que lo empezó se llama gabbo y a veces le da por buscar wafrn en internet y responde. es un pesado de cojones [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqsc-k4Ukmk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqsc-k4Ukmk)

Hello! Do you have plans of getting your app approved on the playstore at some point? I'm still looking around the site, gunna sign up in a bit, but is there anything you'd like to add/share about the site ?

the app is being made by a friend, who also comented in this thread. But yeah, he is on it actualy haha. I made the site because tumblr was treating the trans comunity like shit. and was failing. masively. and "I can do something better im so annoyed". So I decided to just go and doi something better It started as a solo project, just wafrn. Then I conected it to fedi (a bit after elon bought twitter), and then I said "fuck you all I wanna follow jane stephanie sterling and she is not following the bridge so im adding bsky to wafrn myself"

And you went and Federated it unlike the various Tumblr alternatives that popped up after the porn ban which is a smart idea. With that said, feature requests, specifically the three that would pull me away from Friendica as my primary Fediverse, Diaspora compatibility (nice plus, not a big deal), queue function (all Fediverse software really should have this), and RSS Feed (Friendica lets you follow feeds just like you follow anyone else on the Fediverse).

for RSS feed you can follow bridgy, they do rss feeds as posts. I could look into it but right now we have a bunch of want to features like GTS reply control and some bsky stuff

The list never ends, does it? I almost thing queue functionality is the most important thing on my list, I don't know why no one offers it, in fact Friendica closed the feature request on it (someone else's, not mine) as unnecessary as they have post scheduling. Diaspora compatibility would likely hasten its death,, which is a shame, but it already seems to be dying a slow death.

How easy was it connecting it to fediverse? Wondering how easy it is to connect an existing platform to it from a tech pov.

As someone who's screwed around with Activitypub, it can be a headache at times. HTTP Signatures are annoying.

I basically reverse engineered mastodon. Once i got webfinger working was a good starting point  Also bsky with a “pds as a sidecar” is how I connect it to bluesky. A lot easier

Man Bravo to you. I can't tell you how bad i wish I could make my own alternative, but I don't have the technical know how or experience. So that's awesome you went ahead and did it. You also get mad bonus points for actually making a fucking mobile app for the site. On both platforms. You have a full completed product and that's dope and very professional. I received the confirmation email after creating my account, and both links provided lead me to a page that says: This page doesn't exist. So, I'm not sure what to do now.

Oooh, I'm a massive fan of wafrn. They're on the fediverse, so you can interact and post to lemmy through it! The creator is on reddit: u/gabboman

Thanks for commenting. Yea, I also saw it integrates with bluesky as well. Do you use the Android app for it? How long have you been using it?

Electronic-Phone1732@reddit

I use the website, I prefer social media on a computer. The bluesky integration is great. I've been on it for a few months now.
