Jerboa for Lemmy

Lemmy is pretty good, and is working towards full activitypub federation: https://join-lemmy.org/ As for the usage.. there's some, but it is niche. The average user just won't move unless something goes from so-so-satisfactory to offensive. This is how mastodon got its (seemingly brief) user spike.

TheTVDB.com

Don't forget Gracenote, who was founded on this very principle. It just keep happening and happening, too. https://thetvdb.com/ is the latest one I've seen. User generated content, open API (with request throttling to prevent abuse) for years and now some media company swoops in, buys it and goodbye free API! It's spitting in the face of their entire community and really infuriating.
