I love seeing how different apps are approaching community building, and this list is great!\r

> Hylo is an up & coming community platform with a powerful ‘holonic’ structure that enables coordination within and across groups. It’s run as a non-profit so they don’t have built-in incentives to design for addiction, and their code base is fully open-source.\r
\r
I like the idea of having communities that can then share and connect with a larger group. It's unfortunate that it's not decentralized like some of the ones below, but it also looks more mature.\r
\r
> Futureproof, Neighbourhoods, and We are three separate projects building decentralized community platforms with high levels of community-control and modularity.\r
\r
I was unaware of Holochain[1] but it's interesting, it reminds me of scuttlebutt but with more of a focus on giving non-tech folks the benefit of a distributed environment. I tried setting up a group with We and it seems simple enough: not many applets yet, but already I can see why I'd rather use a tool like this to organize, rather than a cloud-hosted service.\r

> Group Income is a brand new product from the non-profit OkTurtles that makes it easy for groups of friends & communities to create a basic income for themselves among one another. [2]\r
\r
This is a really cool idea! It seems a bit sparse in details as it's being built up, but I'll keep an eye on this, as it has a lot of potential to change how groups of friends can organize and create a better economic safety net.\r

There's a few other good projects in the post, but I still have to go through them and try the services. Definitely check them all out!
