Zyke: Discussion Forum. Talk, explore internet culture and ideas.
zyke.social
Join Zyke, an open discussion forum where communities share ideas, debate trends and explore internet culture. Create posts, vote and discover what matters.

I built Zyke: Discussion Forum, a discussion forum & social news aggregator like Reddit. Loads fast, moderation is transparent, has user mentions (@), hashtags (#), a democratic voting system and a modern rich text editor.

But how do I monetize without running ads? That’s why I’m skeptical about adding Zyke to the fediverse. The community dislikes products with ads, so it feels like a bad idea to me. I don’t even intend to put pop up ads, just clean banner adverts

    It’s weird because no Lemmy instance is monetized. Same for Mastodon. What makes your software different?

    I used wget on Ubuntu to clone pages from piefed to build Zyke

    Ouch.
