Mastodon is my go-to “shout in the void about my goings-on” platform.
Pixelfed is where I post my original photography and artwork.
Bookwyrm is for my book nerdery, mostly.
Edit: Oh and I have a Matrix account but despite the fact that I mentioned it to literally all of my friends, nobody uses it. I keep it around in case someone actually wants to send me private messages because Mastodon is kinda badly suited for that.
Misskey, as most of East Asian and SEA community are on there.
Mastodon and Sharkey (Misskey fork), though I use Sharkey much less.
I also have a Matrix account which is a different kind of Federated service (chat and instant messaging) though not Federated in the same way as Lemmy and Mastodon (uses a different federation protocol).
Maybe make onboarding easier or the fediverse dies a slow death
But nah, why bother making it easy for users to join when you can just gatekeep everything into low engagement
Matrix, XMPP, Mastodon, Lemmy,
Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube, Pixelfed. Soon, Owncast.
Besides Mbin, I’ve been using Sharkey a lot. It’s really nice! I also want to use Peertube and Owncast more.
Matrix
Mastodon. Lemmy is good for discussions, but Mastodon is more Twitter -like so you can follow friends and see what they’re up to.
Mastodon and Pixelfed. Mastodon is my main (Retro Gaiden) but I’m experimenting with the Fediverse to see what works for me and what doesn’t.
Tried them all, I think. Lemmy is the only one I like this far.
I don’t use Lemmy, I am reading this post on MBin
Everyone is mentioning email. I also use the World Wide Web.
DNS is also super cool can’t imagine my life without it
mbin fanboy
I use :
microblog
- mastodon for political content as it allows me to avoid lenghty and tendious discussion with its 500 character limit. But…i stopped using it for a while due to current news on climate change and fascisme. And i’m not fan of its UI
- IceShrimp. I love its colorful UI. For me it one of tge best UI pn the fediverse. It also have a good balance between lenghty text and short one. It also support markdown. 3000 character is enough
forumverse
- lemmy, it was good when we migrated from Reddit but over time i prefer PieFed.
- Mbin, i tried it but i dunno why i don’t use it as much as Lemmy whereas there were much more functionalities and cool ideas.
- PieFed i’m starting to use it much more than Lemmy. There are plenty great ideas as downvote management, tags, poll, multicommu, support peertube and a.gup.pe. It is better each week.
