Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have fully transitioned to using Lemmy and Mastodon right when third party apps weren't allowed on Spez's place anymore, so I don't know how it is over there anymore.

What do you use? Are you still switching between the two, essentially dualbooting?

What other social media do you use? How do you feel about Fediverse social media platforms in general?

(I'm sorry if I'm the 100th person to ask this on here...)

Yeah that's a fair point. The I use it because others do argument is very strong, and I'm assuming that is also why most people are still using Facebook and Twitter.

I have also seen some German Youtubers say, that they'd like to join Mastodon, but that the whole "instance" thing is too confusing to get behind, not understand that you just pick one with your interests, and off you go.

The closest thing to Youtube would probably be PeerTube. It feels a bit like how Youtube used to be, with some randos just making the content they want to.

I'll give peertube a shot! Thank you!
