Fediverse

Mostly Lemmy, but also Peertube, rarely Mastodon I also have accounts on other Fediverse services but I don't use it

Forgive my ignorance but i dont see mention of Bluesky? I beleive thats also fediverse?

Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy and Bookwyrm. They all seem to cover most of my social media needs which (in all other cases beside Lemmy) can be described as shouting in the void and being happy if someone else is there too.

I've been using Mastodon for eight years and got involved with hosting a small instance for some years now. Also running a Bookwyrm instance and, since a few days, this Lemmy instance which will remain single user most likely.

I have several more Mastodon accounts I'm switching between and inactive Pixelfed, GoToSocial and Friendica accounts.

Mastodon, Lemmy, Goto Social, Pixelfed, Bookwyrm.

Peertibes default no federation thing is too frustrating for me to deal with

Lemmy, Sharkey (like Mastodon but with more features), and WAFRN (the fediverse's Tumblr alternative)

Other than Lemmy, I’ve got a self-hosted and federated Matrix instance. I don’t actually do much with Matrix at the moment, it’s mostly the result of me tinkering with self-hosted services. I did recently bridge it to Discord, and I’ve let my friends know it’s a potential alternative if Discord continues going down the shitter.

Lemmy and Matrix. And I don't use Matrix a helluva lot.

I mainly use Lemmy (infosec.pub) and I sometimes use Mastodon (mstdn.plus).

Mastodon, via jorts.horse. I use it mainly to shitpost, and occasionally catch up on news.

PeerTube, via spectra.video. It was part of an effort to switch away from YouTube, but due to the abysymal discoverability, I am forced to concur that it hasn't been doing well as a replacement. I now just use Grayjay to see videos, regardless of platforms.

For now, I use Lemmy via lemmy.cafe. However, when PieFed gets a stable app, I plan to switch over to it, probably via feddit.online.

Maybe I'll try out Loops when it gains federation support.

I'm an Mbin user.

Mbin is a fork of kbin. Kbin's dev didn't really trust people much, so he wanted to have sole control over what code gets added to kbin. Which led to issues when he wasn't available and development just came to a halt for months because no one could accept changes anymore. The other devs wanted more control so they could actually get shit done, so they decided to fork the project instead.

How different is it from Lemmy? I hear they have better integration with Mastodon.

I think the biggest difference is really the fact that you can subscribe to not just communities but also users. This is where the superior Mastodon compatibility comes into play by allowing us to see posts that don't mention communities. Lemmy only sees Mastodon posts if they mention a community explicitly or an Mbin user has interacted with it.

There's also other stuff like public upvotes, boosting, tags, reputation (karma), and custom community CSS. I don't really know Lemmy well enough to give a full list of where they differ.

Mostly Lemmy via discuss.online, with a little bit of Pixelfed via social.photo and Mastodon via utter.online.

I was using Loops pretty heavily for a while, but the most recent update made it not work right on my phone (and there's no web version), so maybe I'll try again when it's out of beta. It's also not truly federated atm, so only sort of counts.

I've tried out a bit of PieFed and it looks really nice. Probably the best Lemmy threadiverse alternative atm. The dev does some interesting experiments like Private Voting

Mostly Lemmy for me but sometimes Pixelfed. I'm also a psychopath and browse "everything" with all NSFW filters turned off while at work, so I'm probably not a good judge.

In random order

Loops

Peertube very sparingly. Youtube is still king.

Lemmy. Nuked my 14 year old Reddit account today. Lemmy is great.

Pixelfed

Mastodon

Wordpress if that is counted as federated

Only Lemmy. I could never find anything interesting on Mastodon and hate the Twitter-based format.

Mastodon and MakerTube

I'm currently busy setting up my own Lemmy instance and PeerTube instance. Before the Fediverse, YT and Reddit were basically the only things I used, I was never a big fan of twitter-like social media. So those slot in nicely into those itches to scratch. (although there are still some creators I follow on YT, I have been watching it a lot less after getting serious with PeerTube)

Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed and Peertube.

Lemmy, Mastodon and Pixelfed. what I like about the last one is that I managed to find enough accounts posting pictures that I like, that I pretty much get to press like on everything I see on my feed there.
