What other parts of the fediverse are you using? (lemmy.world)

Besides Lemmy which I love a lot, I'm also enjoying a microblog platform called Catodon, which is much less basic than Mastodon and has a very nice interface. Pixelfed is also fantastic if you like photography rather than just being Instagram influencer nonsense. Where else are you hanging out? What have you liked and not liked?

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

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I still can't login to Funkwhale no matter what I try.

[-] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Nice, im involved in a makerspace. Mobilizon looks just right up our alley. We are perceptually on discord and our website + google calendar is how we announce our meetups. This might help us out.

[-] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Mastodon.

I want to love Peertube but there isn't enough content, and what content there is almost never actually loads for me.

[-] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 8 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] savvywolf@pawb.social 7 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago

Kbin, mastodon, bookwyrm. Was on miskey but idk what happened to the server I was on.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Firefish? It died. Try Catodon if you want a clone!

[-] Vigilante 6 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] jaagruk@mander.xyz 5 points 3 months ago

Matrix deserves a retrial.

Pixelfed and peertube is for creators? For us Mucroblog is enough to follow them.

[-] Vigilante 3 points 3 months ago

Also I don't like microblogging format much

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Catodon you can do quite long posts actually, it's well designed that way.

[-] Vigilante 2 points 3 months ago

Any casual chat rooms for matrix where you can meet people ? I couldn't find any at all.

[-] jaagruk@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Nope I am in project rooms only.

[-] Vigilante 5 points 3 months ago

Well i guess i have no place there.

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] andrew_s@piefed.social 4 points 3 months ago

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).

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I just read about that one, I'll come join. More fediverse the better.

[-] acetanilide@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I also tried Friendica but I don't seem to really get it.

[-] ginerel@kbin.social 1 points 3 months ago

Friendica is really versatile. To get started, I'd suggest you watch @anubis2814a's videos (on the tagged PeerTube account or on YouTube) in order to get used to all the functions on the platform. There's also a Wiki on their website (and likely on the node you may choose) or you can post any question on !helpers

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Thank you. I'd like to understand better.

[-] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] OldFartPhil@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

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

[-] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

Lemmy, Sharkey, and following channels on Peertube

[-] leanleft@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

diaspora still exists.

[-] anticurrent@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 3 months ago

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] tron@midwest.social 4 points 3 months ago

Matrix isn't using Activitypub, so it isn't compatible with the rest of the fediverse. However, with Matrix anybody can host a chat server and all servers interact with each other. So just like the rest of the fediverse, Matrix is fully decentralized, free, and open source.

[-] VanHalbgott@lemmus.org 2 points 3 months ago

Mastodon, Lemmy, and Wordpress.

I maintain an art blog mostly on Mastodon and Wordpress while use Lemmy for other things.

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

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Just wanted to say that Catodon is a much nicer microblog interface and you can look at Mastodon from it!

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I'll try it, not that I have any problems with Mastodon's default interface anyway. If it's good enough for me, I'll use it.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I just find Mastodon rather basic. But may a thousand fediverse sites bloom.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Having that is never a bad idea.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It's pretty great I think.

[-] proletar_ian@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I find Mastodon very basic myself.

[-] proletar_ian@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I prefer Twitter. I have a suspicion that Mastodon will only get a chance at relevance if something at Twitter pushes people off the platform. Reddit's 3rd party API ordeal seems to have boosted Lemmy quite a bit, so it shouldn't take too much, but maybe I'm too optimistic.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I use another Matodon like platform called Catodon. The interface is MUCH nicer.

[-] Ignacio@kbin.social 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

[-] Ultragigagigantic@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Not that I'm aware of.

[-] Alice@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 3 months ago

I've heard of catodon

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It's absolutely lovely. And you can read all of Mastodon from it as well.
