For those seeking out a federated and open alternative to Tumblr, Wafrn is looking extremely promising. It can speak both ActivityPub and AT Protocol, offers a ton of interesting features and customization, and focuses on making an incredibly fun experience.

Two questions: how well does it handle Lemmy groups? And can it follow RSS feeds directly in some way? If so, I'm tempted to move from Friendica to WAFRN

  1. From what I can tell, there have been successful tests with posting to the Threadiverse. I'm not sure how good this experience actually is on Wafrn yet, but it's promising: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/5fa12345-e4ff-4da3-8a95-d1ef1c4bd186/wafrn-a-tumblr-clone-that-federates-with-fedi-and-now-also-has-opt-in-native-bluesky/
  2. I don't think it will natively support RSS anytime soon. It's not a bad idea, but I've only seen platforms from the Friendica family tree and maybe Emissary supporting this. That being said, a lot of publications are on the Fediverse or Bluesky, and it's not too complicated to set up an RSS bot?
