This is the only federated software that I use because it is the only one in a format I enjoy using. I liked reddit for the threaded forum kinda format, so lemmy was an easy transition.
Never liked facebook/twitter/instagram or those formats so no interest in a federated version of them. There could be something out there I would also like, but thst would require trying more things and I gave up after bouncing off a few.
Mbin.
what’s the difference between mbin and lemmy?
mbin lets you access all of the lemmy content (the threadiverse) as well as the microblog stuff like mastodon and universeodon. its also a bit more reddit-like
example: https://moist.catsweat.com
I use Mastodon and Pixelfed mainly. But I also have an account on Friendica and Loops.video, but I rarely use them. And does Matrix count?
Oh and I forgot about Funkwhale for putting your music collection online.
Matrix certainly counts as “federated” which is whats in the title, but its not using activitypub so its not “fediverse”. Email is also federated and i assume you have that too lol
Good point.
Mastodon, but I’ve largely dropped it for Bluesky. I’m no purist about full decentralization, and I think it’s enough that the latter both has users, and isn’t currently awful.
I’ve used Bookwyrm a bit. I kinda like it. But it had some UX issues imo, and didn’t keep me hooked.
Also tried Pixelfed. It’s pretty slick, but I just can’t see the point. Like Instagram, seeing a feed of just pictures wasn’t all that interesting to me… though I probably just haven’t followed the right accounts.
This account is Mbin rather than Lemmy, and I’ve got another account on a Pleroma server for my microblogging. Thinking of trying Piefed, some of its features sound promising and it looks like development is going pretty rapidly, I may end up switching off Mbin.
Nah that kind of thing isn’t important to me unless the product is polished and as good as the original it’s replacing including the amount of content available
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).
Mastodon. Lemmy is good for discussions, but Mastodon is more Twitter -like so you can follow friends and see what they’re up to.
Just email dan lemmy. I dont care for social media. I havent had one for a long time. I just dont see the appeal. I registered on peertube but its pretty lackluster.
Mastodon. It’s much better than Lemmy.
Besides lemmy only pixelfed
Matrix
Sharkey. Piefed. Pixelfed. In order from most used to least used. I don’t use Lemmy.
Everyone is mentioning email. I also use the World Wide Web.
DNS is also super cool can’t imagine my life without it
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.
