- Summary: Sill collects links posted by the people you follow on Bluesky and Mastodon, and aggregates them into a list of the most popular links in your network. This is, for Mastodon/Bluesky what Nuzzel was for Twitter ages ago.
- Notes: I use it as a beta tester and it's a nice app. I'm a long time Nuzzel widow and so far has been a nice ride. They have this OSS version in parallel with a payed version.
The open source version will have all features available. If you choose to self-host Sill, you'll have access to everything Sill offers for whatever your self-hosting costs. However, I expect that most self-hosting setups would cost more money than just paying for a Sill+ subscription, given the database size that Sill accumulates over time.
I'm choosing this revenue model because I want to keep Sill sustainable for the long run. That means funding both the infrastructure to run Sill and the time I dedicate to it. Based on the number of users Sill has today, I'm hopeful that this simple pricing structure can generate enough revenue for Sill to succeed.
I haven't tried on my own, but it seems a nice to have, in case the self hosted version is worthwhile.
