I’ve been searching for a potential Fediverse-based alternative to Tumblr and recently came across Loforo, Goblin, and Wafrn.

All of them seem interesting, but I’m curious — which one do you think is better for recreating that Tumblr-like experience?

Or is there another platform out there on the Fediverse that’s an even better fit as a Tumblr alternative?

I know there’s been talk about Tumblr supposedly joining the Fediverse, but even if it does, I don’t feel comfortable relying on a centralized, corporate platform anymore.

I’d prefer to support smaller, decentralized, community-driven projects.

Do you have any experience with Loforo, Wafrn, or other platforms that could work for blogging, aesthetic sharing, and building micro-communities like Tumblr?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

    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.
