Three apps competing for the post-Amino crown. Here's the full feature comparison and the winner for each use case.
Short answer
Aminoka is the closest match to the original Amino. It rebuilds the full leader/curator/agent hierarchy, level-ups, custom themes per community, OC library with gallery + kudos, plus a 1x1 roleplay matchmaker. Free, no ads.
Kyodo and Zervo are simpler. Both work for basic communities + chat. Neither replicates Amino's leader hierarchy, level-ups, or OC system at the same depth.
Open Aminoka and judge for yourself: Open Aminoka.
