Just look at WAFRN for example, they built a kickass Tumblr alternative with both ActivityPub and AtProto/Bluesky support.

And they have a fast growing community, because they focused on building a better Tumblr, and have a vibrant ecosystem with many contributors.

Rockstar project, and devs, they are a shining example of how to get this right and shatter expectations with constant evolution.

Kudos @gabbomangabboman the wafrn dev and team
