Mastodon, Bluesky, Nostr, Threads: Since Elon Musk's 2022 acquisition of X, the app formerly known as Twitter, usage of X alternatives has continued to grow as people embrace decentralized social networking. Unfortunately, keeping up with all the new networks has not been easy, as they currently rely on different protocols that don't interoperate. That's a problem a new app called Openvibe aims to address. From a single interface, Openvibe allows you to stay connected with friends and followers across Mastodon, Nostr, Bluesky and soon Threads, in a combined timeline. It also offers the ability to cross-post to multiple networks at once.
The company's mission is to offer a friendly, "easy-to-use gateway" to the open social web for new users, according to CEO Matej Svancer.
The Czech Republic-based team had originally begun work on a Twitter client called Tweetoshi in 2022, but after Elon Musk bought Twitter, they shifted their focus to the open social web, as many of the app's earlier adopters had made the switch. Earlier efforts involved work on a Nostr-powered app called Plebstr, which has now merged into Openvibe.
