A Reddit r/lisp post (attributed to Christine Lemmer-Webber).

"Cryap - a federated social network written in Crystal. Cryap can federate with Mastodon, Pleroma, and others ActivityPub-compatible engines!
Cryap partially implements the Mastodon API. It is possible to publish posts without media, boost, like, follow and read timeline. Users are visible to other instances. OAuth2 is implemented, but without scopes. Cryap is not ready to be used in production, but we welcome contributions to our project."

Implemented at fediversity.site. It's not an FEP, but I'm tagging it that way anway.

"A self-hosted fediverse bot."

"A set of utilities to help bring content and users from legacy social media networks into the fediverse"

"Post short thoughts or long essays, share photos, all on your own blog. Micro.blog makes it easy, and provides a friendly community where you can share and engage with others." The description don't mention ActivityPub, but the nodeinfo lists it as a supported protocol. (AKA microdotblog)

"A growing number of people are experimenting with federated alternatives to social media like Mastodon, either by joining an “instance” hosted by someone else or creating their own instance by running the free, open-source software on a server they control. For people hosting instances, however, it can also mean some legal risk."

Intro: "Let’s address the mammoth in the room: the fediverse, the network of mastodon servers, is very inefficient. In this post I’ll show why it is inefficient and why that isn’t a problem."
