I got both a Bonfire and a Streams Repository instance installed and running, I just don't have the brainwidth today to set up accounts on them.
Pretty painless install and setup on both through yunohost, though, and neither needs to use an authorization email for the first user (I still don't have the email ports open on my vps)

in reply to Scooter • •Currently Bonfire doesn't seem much different from Mastodon or Gotosocial, but it looks like they're working towards groups and other features for running an online presence for a community. Friendica feels more similar to facebook, and has some rare features like RSS reading, Diaspora network federation, and email integration (You can set it up to bridge with specific email accounts, whose emails then show up and can be interacted with in the timeline. It's a way to keep in touch with non-social-network folks).
That being said, Streams Repository is the most recent social network project from the same primary person that was behind both Friendica and Hubzilla, and it follows the sort of facebook style feel. It doesn't RSS read or do the email thing (i think), but overall is a very similar concept,

in reply to Scooter • •Yeah, it's modular by design. It comes as a number of different "flavors" (different bundles of the feature plugins), with only the "social" flavor being at v1.0, the others are in alpha/beta stages

Their indiegogo page has a rough roadmap of their plans, as well as probably explaining Bonfire a little better, but it seems like it's a common comment that Bonfire could use way clearer messaging.
