There's so many ways to interact with the Fediverse. The most popular, by far, seems to be Mastodon, but Lemmy, Misskey, and Pixelfed are also relatively popular. Kbin used to be popular, but it has apparently been abandoned, and is mostly dead at this point.

I recently learned that Mbin is a thing, checked it out, and it looked really cool! Has anyone used it? How different is it from Lemmy? I hear they have better integration with Mastodon.

What Fediverse services do you actually, regularly use?

For me, it's mostly Lemmy, though I do hop on Mastodon every now and then.

Lemmy and Matrix. And I don't use Matrix a helluva lot.

Other than Lemmy, I’ve got a self-hosted and federated Matrix instance. I don’t actually do much with Matrix at the moment, it’s mostly the result of me tinkering with self-hosted services. I did recently bridge it to Discord, and I’ve let my friends know it’s a potential alternative if Discord continues going down the shitter.

Discord continues going down the shitter.

How so? And what do you mean bridge Matrix to Discord?

Lemmy, Sharkey (like Mastodon but with more features), and WAFRN (the fediverse's Tumblr alternative)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Mastodon, Lemmy, Goto Social, Pixelfed, Bookwyrm.

Peertibes default no federation thing is too frustrating for me to deal with

Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy and Bookwyrm. They all seem to cover most of my social media needs which (in all other cases beside Lemmy) can be described as shouting in the void and being happy if someone else is there too.

Yeah, I get this, to be honest.

Though, I do feel the same way with the centralized social media platforms. I mean, if I make a Tumblr post, I'm really not expecting people to see it. If I just Tweet, as opposed to Tweeting at someone, I don't really expect engagement either... YT videos, Instagram posts... Unless my friends and family use the apps

which is another issue altogether, since I could try to get them to join

I just shouting in the void.

I think it's the lack of theme. Lemmy makes you post with the theme of the community you post to, so it's kind of implied that your posts will reach people that are interested in what you posted. That's kind of how tags work on Mastodon and Twitter, I guess, but it's not quite the same thing.

Mastodon and MakerTube

Lemmy and Mastodon.

You can definitely find solid content outside of tech and politics on Mastodon, although the scope tends to be more limited than what Twitter used to be (no idea what state it is now).
