You’re deep into the Fediverse!

Yes... 😅 "E il naufragar m'è dolce in questo mare... 🤣"

Flohmarkt is an interesting concept, I’ve heard of it before, but I don’t know much about.

at the moment it is very little: it is almost touching for how basic it is in its functions! it even lacks the RSS feed which is a constant for almost all the software of the Fediverse... 😅

However I am convinced that it could have a very interesting development in the medium and long term

@Pamasich @gon

Kbin's dev didn't really trust people much, so he wanted to have sole control over what code gets added to kbin

The developer of Kbin is an absolute genius and Kbin was one of the most beautiful and original things ever done in the Fediverse, with a hybridization between microblogging and threadiverse like never seen before. It's a real shame that he ended support for Kbin, but I think he got burned out...

I think the biggest difference is really the fact that you can subscribe to not just communities but also users

This is an added value, but it was also a critical aspect. The fact of having allowed to follow users and not only communities (magazines) has determined a significant slowdown of the server.

Furthermore, this great added value of joining microblogging to threadiverse, does not make the interface very easy to read. This was taken sic et simpliciter from Mbin, without further developments. Perhaps, if the original developer had remained active, he could have taken the responsibility of making some sensible changes to the Knin interface...

What Fediverse services do you actually, regularly use?

I am an instance administrator for three Friendica instances, Mastodon glitch-soc and Lemmy. I am also a moderator for three large Mastodon instances, Pixelfed and Flohmarkt...

Putting the software I use the most in the first place, I would say I use:

1. Mastodon, that is my historical account @informapirata (Mastodon is really immediate) and Friendica (the most complete experience even if less ergonomic)
2. Mastodon glitch-soc (immediate like Mastodon, but with formatting)
3. Lemmy (fast and with the best layout in the fediverse)
4. Peertube
5. Pixelfed, Mbin, Pleroma, Misskey, Piefed, Bonfire etc that I use mostly for testing
6. Flohmarkt that I started using only a few weeks ago
