I am finding I like Mastodon the best. Lemmy has potential, but I think the political extremism and lack of hobbyist culture here currently, mixed with the incredibly confusing on-boarding process beginners have to navigate, along with the name, all contribute to making it DOA.

@VanHalbgott I like friendica, it works with Lemmy, microblogging platforms, and macroblogging platforms. I'm maybe not online as much as the average user (and often read fediverse content via bridges instead of nativly), so it's a nice consolation of everything. It also supports rich text and higher char limits for more nuanced posts/replies.
I only use Lemmy, so... Lemmy.
For me it's definitely Lemmy. I don't like the microblogging format and never have. I've always used forums and then reddit.
The fediverse just works so well with Lemmy I think. It's so fun seeing new communities from instances I've never heard of. I think this format is perfect for the fediverse
I actually love Lemmy, my only problem is it's absolutely infested with democrats and communists
I feel like there's still a pretty big gap in the drawing / art space. I want something that works like the furry art sites all work, which means (a) art posts and text posts separated into distinct feeds, and (b) thumbnails in a grid instead of a vertical timeline. I built a web app to do this but unfortunately it's single-user (and basically locked to the Azure cloud). In the meantime, Pixelfed works pretty well for following Mastodon artists.
Here on Lemmy is my favorite considering that's what I use most on the Fediverse. Second would be the only other one I use: Mastodon.
Iceshrimp
Lemmy and peertube and matrix (if it counts)
Mastdon is alr ig
Pretty sure Kbin is dead and gone, might want to update your tree.
I think fedia.io seems to scratch the itch
I‘m pretty sure fedia.io is running on mbin, a clone of kbin that is still being maintained.
Lemmy & Bluesky until that eventually falls off or Mastodon decides to improve itself
Is there any write-up about interops between any of them?
Lemmy and peertube
Every time I see this I think it needs a Storage and a Conversation branch.
Lemmy and Catodon and Pixelfed, in that order.
- Mbin
- Misskey forks (I use CherryPick, but Sharkey is good too)
- PeerTube
- PieFed
- Mastodon
I wanna check out the fediverse blogging platforms, they seem interesting. Which one would you recommend? I looked at writefreely but it seems that none of the instances let you post as many blogs as you want unless you pay?
Also, is anyone working a fediverse IMDB/letterboxed alternative that uses OMDB dataset? Perhaps a Bookwyrm fork could make it not too hard to start.
Not misskey, it has some crazy glaring issues like note/toot search being missing :/ misskey forks seem to be quite popular tho
Seems a little old. It should have BlueSky and FChannel
Bluesky uses ATprotocol not ActivityPub, therefore it’s not considered part of the fediverse.
also VC funded corpo trash?
There is Matrix but no XMPP :(
- XMPP
- Lemmy
- Akkoma
- Peertube
I really wanted to like bookwyrm and use it but it's just so bare bones. Instead, I switched from goodreads to StoryGraph like two years ago. I really like some of its features like content warnings, moods, very detailed stats of my reading habits, etc.
I use Bookwyrm specifically because its barebones. It's my favorite platform
A Roblox alternative in the fediverse.
Because I want to get off Roblox.
Lemmy, shortly followed by Piefed.
Will probably switch once Piefed gets mobile apps support and comments view
Unfortunately, Lemmy is the only one with content that appeals to me so far (at least to my knowledge, given the near-unsearchable nature of the fediverseso far). The platforms just aren't large enough.
