Mastodon. It’s much better than Lemmy.

“use” might be a stretch.

I have a mastodon account I check occasionally
I have a pixelfed account I use rarely
And a loops account I think I logged into once

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.

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

Maybe make onboarding easier or the fediverse dies a slow death

But nah, why bother making it easy for users to join when you can just gatekeep everything into low engagement

Matrix, XMPP, Mastodon, Lemmy,

I use email.

Everyone is mentioning email. I also use the World Wide Web.

Besides Mbin, I’ve been using Sharkey a lot. It’s really nice! I also want to use Peertube and Owncast more.

Mastodon. Lemmy is good for discussions, but Mastodon is more Twitter -like so you can follow friends and see what they’re up to.

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.

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

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.

I use :

microblog

• mastodon for political content as it allows me to avoid lenghty and tendious discussion with its 500 character limit. But…i stopped using it for a while due to current news on climate change and fascisme. And i’m not fan of its UI
• IceShrimp. I love its colorful UI. For me it one of tge best UI pn the fediverse. It also have a good balance between lenghty text and short one. It also support markdown. 3000 character is enough

forumverse

• lemmy, it was good when we migrated from Reddit but over time i prefer PieFed.
• Mbin, i tried it but i dunno why i don’t use it as much as Lemmy whereas there were much more functionalities and cool ideas.
• PieFed i’m starting to use it much more than Lemmy. There are plenty great ideas as downvote management, tags, poll, multicommu, support peertube and a.gup.pe. It is better each week.
