Lyrak, a new social network startup, is set to challenge X by merging Twitter's functionalities with fediverse integration, offering real-time news, and monetization avenues for creators. Inspired by Instagram's Threads, Lyrak, founded by Rishi Siva, plans to utilize ActivityPub integration to connect with federated networks like Mastodon. Initially targeting journalists, the platform intends to broaden its user base to include digital product vendors, providing subscription services, tips, and AI tools.
