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.

I tried Pixelfed (very briefly) not so long ago. I didn't find a propper way to search for content. How do you discover new content?

I started with the 'Discover' page for some stuff, but I think I found most things by searching relevant hashtags. Once I had a few people followed, I also took a peek at who was resharing/liking/commenting to find more people. I haven't used it THAT much yet, but there's enough content to scroll through every now and then

Pixelfed has a very nice webapp. If you don't like the official one, install it from web on your phone.
