A Deviantart (or similar art sharing site) clone. None of the current fediverse platforms are really suited for that. Sure you can use Mastodon or PixelFed to post art/fanart, but discovery of both your portfolio and specific pieces is a crapshoot and so is the commenting system for people wanting to give feedback. Also, there’s no real way to organize your art like there is with the arbitrary folder structures you can set on proper art sites, so if you’re making several pieces in a series, or even more critically, a multi-chapter web comic, you have no way of conveying to your viewers what the groupings and order are.
A Wattpad (or similar story publishing site) clone. Same problem as above. I’ve tried posting my writings on Lemmy but the relatively low character limit (for a forum) makes it entirely unsuited for long pieces (though this can be pretty easily remedied just by increasing the character limit, long form writings are pretty successful on Reddit and forums after all, see, one, /r/nosleep, /r/worldbuilding and and all the other share-your-story subreddits, and two, all the fanfiction being published and literary roleplays happening on bb style forums. But still, something dedicated to creative writing with built-in support for tags, as well as story partitioning like chapters and series would be ideal.
Re: Deviantart clone: There’s been talks about adding ActivityPub features to MediaGoblin, which could be interesting. But I personally believe that making something new that was designed with federation from the start would be better.
@dressupgeekout
there is @pixelfed who can do that.
a few years ago i was joking about a fediverse version of a seduction website, but well, Mastodon does that too already.
i believe groups just like Facebook does it is really a big miss in the Fedi.
mobilizon does that but it is missing the chatting and publishing way to have easy discussions between people.
that is currently the closest.
also i would love to see emerging other alternative tools who feel not so “social média” like. like bike sharing, or renting vacation stuff.

@HiddenLayer5 @dressupgeekout
That could make for a cool @bonfire extension

On that bit you might find @ohn and https://openhospitality.network interesting to check out.

not federated, but probably not too hard to add.
Nice app suggestions!
