Similar situation to Irelephant, first I'm reading about Loforo. Doing some brief research, it doesn't look like Loforo's integrated ActivityPub that much, nor does it seem to be open source so others could run their own instances.
In those respects Wafrn is the clear choice for a federated Tumblr-like, as it's open source and integrates ActivityPub thoroughly. As a matter of fact, a little more digging and I found where someone has been helping test run another Wafrn instance in the form of "evil" Wafrn.
I just checked Evil Wafrn, and now I'm confused.
What is the difference between Wafrn, and "Evil Wafrn"?
is it just a different Wafrn instance?
Is it a completely different and separate Fediverse platform?
I attempted to log into "Evil Wafrn" using my regular Wafrn login and that failed.
It's just a different Wafrn instance, which is why you couldn't log into it.
As far as I'm aware it's the first and only other Wafrn instance run by someone besides the creator of Wafrn. Hopefully in time there may be more.
Ahh... Thx.
