@mandarine0711 da gab es doch letztes Jahr schon mit Nolto.social einen anlauf der wohl ziemlich gescheitert ist.
Schön wenn sich Leute die Arbeit machen, aber ich habe echte zweifel das sowas ein Erfolg wird.

@sanderturnhout Precies, nog wat meer #natuur vernielen zeker, meer beken, meren en rivieren en de biodiversiteit daarin en in de aangrenzende natuurgebieden. #lto #nolto

Looks like Nolto found a future - just in a different field.

I reiterate my point on "this needs appropriate amounts of capital to execute as federated professional social network". Especially if it's supposed to not instantly fall into the extraction-business-model-trap / surveillance-capitalism-trap.

A quick note on Nolto.
On 15 March 2026 its creator Jonathan Tensetti intentionally closed the service and deleted his Fediverse account.

What he built - Europe’s second decentralised LinkedIn alternative on ActivityPub - was gloriously vibecoded but effective. It showed, with hard data and testimonials, that the demand for a sovereignty-respecting professional platform is real.

I had been working in parallel: detailed research on technical choices, product mechanics, business-model viability under distributed/FOSS conditions, and how to test everything in practice for such a product. Nothing yolo — but nothing yet proven in production either. Jonathan precluded me by just yolo'ing the Nolto MVP. Thanks for that.

To move from proven demand to a solid, maintainable product I need proper capital, runway and possibly 1-2 additional people.
I'm looking for European-aligned funding - preferably from Germany, Poland or Denmark - networks that value independence and data protection without the usual bureaucratic overhead.

If you know the right people in those circles, please connect me with them before the current momentum fades.

Serious replies and boosts appreciated.

@craiglambie42 @moellus until now, i was not into hosting server for the fediverse. But it might be interesting for me to take a look at and see, if the #nolto project can be brought to kife again.
I already operate #odoo community edition on a k8s cluster in my own company and have good exerience in IT Infra and software architecture. Maybe good if others that are interested get together

@craiglambie42 @evischreck As I understand it, #nolto was a vibe coded project, and the developer didn't have the resources to meet the growing demand. Can't say anything more about the code itself.

@moellus @evischreck I have been wondering the same thing lately.
A business friendly alt pub server. I wonder if #nolto is open source and could be rebooted.
I was literally having this discussion with some masto admins today.
