What are some of the more novel forms of fediverse software? (lemm.ee)

By novel I mean not emulating an existing popular platform, e.g. Lemmy-Reddit, Mastodon-Twitter, etc.

Let me think...

Flohmarkt is like Craigslist or eBay
Honk - Ultra-ultra minimalist
Vocata - a general C2S-enabled server that allows you to throw any kind of Vocabulary you want at it. Could be useful for mocking up client apps.
Wordforge - federated novel-writing
SkoHub - Some kind of federated knowledge discovery system?
GreatApe - an OBS-like federated video thing that you can have live audiences with.

That's just what I could find from scrounging around, I know there's more.

Thanks! Er...What does C2S in this context mean? I read over some of the details on Vocata (it sounds really cool!), but remain unsure what's meant by C2S here.

Basically, it's the second half of ActivityPub that's for mapping an instance to clients. Most platforms on Fedi use bespoke APIs or copy Mastodon, but C2S is kind of more fluid and lets you build custom experiences and logic that hooks into it?

What's cool about Vocata is that you can kind of just make up the vocab and activity you send out the Outbox. Vocata just shrugs and says "whatever, that's valid."

It could be brilliant for prototyping.
