It was asked a couple of months ago, but given the AI enshittification, it seems a good time to ask again.

I looked around and found:

Pinetta is/was in development but seems dead with only an alpha release. I am chasing this up on Matrix. edit: Apparently still, technically, active although progress has been slow
Pinry is a FOSS alternative, but not federated, that seems dormant. However, it works and is in Python, so someone could bolt an AP server to it, he says airily.

That sounds good! If Pixelfed or similar implemented that, it could be sufficient. A new fedi service starting from scratch would lack the existing pool of resources since federation only happens when a post gets posted/boosted but after some time it could actually be useful.
