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.

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.

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

[-] b00m@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I think fedia.io seems to scratch the itch

[-] jaxiiruff@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

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

[-] vii@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago

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

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 4 points 13 hours ago

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

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Lemmy and Catodon and Pixelfed, in that order.

[-] bigdickdonkey@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

Seems a little old. It should have BlueSky and FChannel

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

Lemmy and peertube

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.

[-] Fitik@fedia.io 4 points 15 hours ago
  1. Mbin
  2. Misskey forks (I use CherryPick, but Sharkey is good too)
  3. PeerTube
  4. PieFed
  5. Mastodon

A Roblox alternative in the fediverse.

Because I want to get off Roblox.

[-] Mwa@lemm.ee 2 points 10 hours ago

Brickplanet exists, but its not a fediverse project.

[-] Blaze@feddit.org 51 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Lemmy, shortly followed by Piefed.

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

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.

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 12 points 1 day ago

Iirc Mastodon is about to add a global search function. I've never used it, nor even Twitter (back before it was cancelled into X), just passing on what I heard.

And PieFed and Mbin are also sort of "Lemmy" (though neither in that graphic that I saw:-).

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.

[-] viking@infosec.pub 10 points 22 hours ago

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 18 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.

[-] Cossty@lemmy.world 8 points 21 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.

[-] vittoria666@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] Marzanna@yiffit.net 4 points 19 hours ago

There is Matrix but no XMPP :(

[-] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 18 hours ago
  1. XMPP
  2. Lemmy
  3. Akkoma
  4. Peertube
[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

Lemmy, I like the simple post structure with all related commentary under the original submission.

Mastodon is fine for people who like it but it's hard to follow the thread of replies as every reply is its own individual post.

I guess the twatter format makes sense for dashing off quick messages but I find it hard to follow and it's difficult to find communities and topics of interest without also including a shit-ton of noise along with the signal.
