Besides Lemmy which I love a lot, I’m also enjoying a microblog platform called Catodon, which is much less basic than Mastodon and has a very nice interface. Pixelfed is also fantastic if you like photography rather than just being Instagram influencer nonsense. Where else are you hanging out? What have you liked and not liked?

    Kbin is also great, nostr but not for microblog, just the apps for Blog, podcast, communities.

    Write freely is so beautiful and easy to host a plain blog / magazine

    Gotosocial will be always my small self hosted personal instance.

    I find Pixelfed and funkwhale too buggy…

    I have used owncast and I liked it much!

    Mobilizon is a new goto for me

      Nice, im involved in a makerspace. Mobilizon looks just right up our alley. We are perceptually on discord and our website + google calendar is how we announce our meetups. This might help us out.

    Mastodon.

    I want to love Peertube but there isn’t enough content, and what content there is almost never actually loads for me.

    Mastodon, Bookwyrm, Mbin, and I’m also on a test instance of Takahē (Mastodon compatible microblogging platform) which I quite like for the multiple personalities feature.

    Currently just Lemmy and Mastodon for me.

    If I do get back into art, I might self host something like Pixelfed or an ATProto version of it to have a gallery on my site.

    Kbin, mastodon, bookwyrm. Was on miskey but idk what happened to the server I was on.

  • I use mastodon occassionaly but i really feel we need something more universal like a server capable of hosting lemmy ans mastodon symultaniously, would be cool af if there was a server capable of having one username for all services. I use peertube through newpipe then make comments through lemmy but i find lwmmy is slow to update peertube content honestly wish newpipe let me commwnt using my lemmy account.

    I’ve tried a few listed here.

    I was also trying Friendica for a bit but I can’t get into it. Mainly because it was hard for me to find content. I may try again now that I’m more used to the Fediverse and how things work.

        Friendica is really versatile. To get started, I’d suggest you watch @anubis2814a’s videos (on the tagged PeerTube account or on YouTube) in order to get used to all the functions on the platform. There’s also a Wiki on their website (and likely on the node you may choose) or you can post any question on !helpers

    PieFed - another lemmy-like platform. Its codebase is deliberately simple, so it’s something I’ve also been able to contribute to (which is nice).

      I just read about that one, I’ll come join. More fediverse the better.

    Mastodon for social-ish media. Peertube for as much video as I can find (its hard, but a couple of creators have mirrored/moved). I want bookwyrm to take off.

    On Mastodon, too. Some of my more niche interests are better represented there since Mastodon has more active users than Lemmy.

      Just wanted to say that Catodon is a much nicer microblog interface and you can look at Mastodon from it!

        I’ll try it, not that I have any problems with Mastodon’s default interface anyway. If it’s good enough for me, I’ll use it.
