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

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.

Just lemmy for now as i tried getting into matrix, pixelfed and peertube but felt like they were'nt just there yet or were'nt for me, might go back to peertube tho once its popular enough to have good content.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

Lemmy, Sharkey, and following channels on Peertube

At least one instance on each of them. Cue obligatory yolo remark.

I got back on Lemmy for the first time in 6 months and it's way more active. I'll be using it more. I tried Mastodon a while ago, but it didn't stick. I'll try again.

diaspora still exists.

I wish for a micro.blog version in php to start my blog in the fediverse, something I can host for cheap on any website hosting provider but I guess this won't happen.

for people who might suggest activitypub addon for wordpress. I think work on that hasn't yet finished. and wordpress is way too bloated for a personal blog anyways.

I'm on Matrix but I don't really use it. I'm also not sure how it's federated. Pretty sure I couldn't see Lemmy posts on it or vice versa 🤷🏻‍♂️

!ibis@lemmy.ml is a new federated wiki by nutomic, one of the lemmy devs

Pretty much just Mastodon. That's pretty much it.

Lemmy (not for too long, hopefully), Kbin, PeerTube (even uploading content every week), Mastodon and Pixelfed.

I honestly don't even remember what I joined, but I am glad I did.

Are there any Instances that don't require a email to sign up? I really feel like you shouldn't need a email to join.

I've heard of catodon
