Has anyone tried to use the AGPL-licensed code published by Minds.com to stand up their own community-hosted service? If that works, we'll add it to fediverse.party;

On the face of it, this would give you access to both ActivityPub and Matrix networks, under one set of login credentials. Not sure what moving parts are involved, what the resource usage would be, or whether the code in their repo is sufficient;

Do they have a presence on the fediverse I wonder?

Unlike most centralised alternatives created in reaction to DataFarming scandals (Ello, Unseen.is, CoHost), Minds managed to reach critical mass despite being a Walled Garden. Part of that, no doubt, was pitching themselves as a free speech platform. At a time when DataFarms were becoming more risk averse in their moderation, in respond to pressure from advertisers.

As a result, they've sometimes been compared to Gob and Lies.social, but this is unfair IMHO;

From Wikipedia: "Minds has been described as less rigorous about removing objectionable content than more mainstream social networks."

Than.
Mainstream.
Social.
