Elk, the Mastodon web client, has an excellent development setup with good documentation and solid leadership. There's lots of little fediverse startups. I've submitted some pull requests to Postmarks, a federated bookmark manager. It's very early stages and fun to be part of that!

Not something I'd ever imagine there's a use for but now I'm interested. Thanks!
Bookwyrm for organizing your book library and making reading goals (just like in Goodreads).
Also, few weeks ago I switched to friendica from mastodon and it is really such a better experience. You have so many features and it's compatible with a lot of other fedi apps that it quickly became my hub for the biggest part of the fediverse.
Get in to the ones that fill a niche for you!

Yeah I think I'll try out a bunch and see what I like
If I was a YouTube creator and would know anything about hosting then I'd get a $5 VPS and host my videos there by myself, this is one of the few ways you can be in controll.
