Does anyone know of a Fediverse alternative for Snapchat?
I know of Friendica, but it looks more like a Facebook. Not a Fediverse option, but so far Signal’s stories look to be the closest option I can find. Any input is appreciated.
Is temporary posts the feature you’re looking for?
One weakness of open platforms like activitypub is that it’s hard to ensure that your post is deleted. A bad actor can make a permanent copy of data they receive through activitypub.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).

Pixelfed has a “stories” feature. It’s only on the website version (no apps) and it’s labeled as “beta”.
Signal seems to cover everything that snapchat does? Other than the Discover content, which I never use
Is it federated in any way?
Ah I didn’t read that properly
Signal is the closest privacy / security respecting alternative to snapchat that I’ve found but no it isn’t federated.
No.
What features of Snapchat are you looking for?
There’s PixelFed but that’s more analogous to Instagram, but it’s core feature is image sharing which is what Snapchat primarily is for.
