Lichen
A home online for your communities, built around the places you care about. Everything on Lichen is pinned to a real place, and you compose your own patch of the map: where you live, where you work, the village your parents live in, all in one feed.
Active
Since 2026
Everything on Lichen is pinned to a real place, and you compose your own patch of the map: where you live, where you work, the village your parents live in, all in one feed. Your local feed is then simply what's happening in those places, newest first, with no algorithm deciding for you. The protocol and the apps are open source, read the code, run your own server, or help build it. The apps are under the MPL-2.0, the server under the AGPL-3.0.
