I like Lemmy. Active development, lots of third party apps, active community, etc but what other Fediverse projects are worth getting into like this one?

For microblogging (Twitter), I know Mastodon is really popular but there are so many other microblogging options like Pleroma, Misskey, FireFish, etc that I don't know which one is really worth getting into (as a user, dev, or admin). Are any of these on par with Lemmy?

For video, there's PeerTube. The content isn't great at all and most servers struggle to pay bills. I think the YouTube replacement is a looong way to go.

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!
