I'll go first...

My favorite Fediverse platforms as of 2024

  1. Mastodon - my main social feed platform that first introduced me to the Fediverse in general.

  2. Lemmy - my second main social feed platform that originally substituted Reddit from years ago.

  3. Matrix protocol - communication platform I use to connect with users on the Lemmy instance I'm on

  4. Peertube - would love to get an account going and use it more often but still don't know how but there's FediVideo.

  5. Bookwyrm - Goodreads alternative that I signed up for that could use more work for a genuine reading tracker.

BONUS: my least favorite Fediverse platform lately

WordPress - because I used to run art blogs on there before I heard word about drama about the CEO of the corporation so I basically had to put out my last existing art blog...RIP.

I only use Lemmy, so... Lemmy.

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.

Lemmy and peertube and matrix (if it counts)
Mastdon is alr ig

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 3 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] jaxiiruff@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

Lemmy & Bluesky until that eventually falls off or Mastodon decides to improve itself

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Lemmy and Catodon and Pixelfed, in that order.

[–] vii@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 hours ago

Is there any write-up about interops between any of them?

Pretty sure Kbin is dead and gone, might want to update your tree.

I think fedia.io seems to scratch the itch

[–] Traumkaempfer@lemm.ee 1 points 23 minutes ago

I‘m pretty sure fedia.io is running on mbin, a clone of kbin that is still being maintained.

[–] clot27@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

Lemmy and peertube

Every time I see this I think it needs a Storage and a Conversation branch.

Seems a little old. It should have BlueSky and FChannel

Bluesky uses ATprotocol not ActivityPub, therefore it’s not considered part of the fediverse.

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.

  1. Mbin
  2. Misskey forks (I use CherryPick, but Sharkey is good too)
  3. PeerTube
  4. PieFed
  5. Mastodon

There is Matrix but no XMPP :(

[–] hankskyjames777@thebrainbin.org 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

A Roblox alternative in the fediverse.

Because I want to get off Roblox.

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago

Brickplanet exists, but its not a fediverse project.

Mastodon. Easily better than Twitter in every way, even when it wasn’t full of garbage. Can’t say the same for Lemmy, it’s not bad, and in some ways better but in some ways worse.

[–] Cossty@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 10 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Nextcloud is federated? First time I hear about that.

For me it's Lemmy, without a doubt. Never used Twitter, tried mastodon to see what it's all about, didn't like it.

Matrix seems decent, but nobody I know uses it, and finding useful groups is painful, especially on other instances (servers, whatever they call them).

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 7 points 14 hours ago

Also, I am confused at why nextcloud is at the intersection of networking, music, and multimedia.

Yes it technically has a video viewer and music player, but I would be very surprised if any person in the world right now is genuinely using it to post that content to the fediverse social-network style.

[–] PlzGivHugs@sh.itjust.works 29 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

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.

Lemmy, shortly followed by Piefed.

Will probably switch once Piefed gets mobile apps support and comments view

Lemmy. I love to read the posts and play the media.
