Oh I see, so it's like reddit mirroring/backup tool to avoid censorship. That's cool. But yeah, not an alternative reddit platform like saidit. So I guess it really is fair to say we're the second-biggest direct reddit spin-off after Voat. Neat.

As the operator of https://notabug.io and snew I agree, saidit is bigger currently I expect.

I don’t log traffic, and can’t log traffic that originates on other peers in the long run anyway.

Congrats on the success of saidit.

To clarify:

notabug.io is a decentralized Reddit alternative that uses open source html/css from Reddit but whole new backend.

Snew.notabug.io is an anti censorship Reddit client that also uses open source html/css from Reddit but uses Reddit’s APIs and pushshift.io

What up man. I'm a big fan of your work, ceddit and notabug.io, especially your 'listing source' opt-in moderation model or whatever all of that is called. It is truly next level and elevating this reddit thing.

Where is a clear high level overview of notabug, especially the decentralization bits? Like the one page sales pitch. SaidIt is fixing to join some kind of federation or decentralization network someday.

Thank you for the kind words.

Marketing isn’t my strong suit, and should probably nail down terms better. The way I like to talk about the model of moderation at notabug is “lenses”. Spaces are like sunglasses that protect your eyes from UV without darkening the sun itself. They can tint and color your view of the world without darkening the light of others.

That would be great, I want to look into ActivityPub support for notabug at some point, but I dislike how tied content is to server in that model and it’s something I’ve tried to avoid with nab.
