I’ll go first…
My favorite Fediverse platforms as of 2024
-
Mastodon - my main social feed platform that first introduced me to the Fediverse in general.
-
Lemmy - my second main social feed platform that originally substituted Reddit from years ago.
-
Matrix protocol - communication platform I use to connect with users on the Lemmy instance I’m on
-
Peertube - would love to get an account going and use it more often but still don’t know how but there’s FediVideo.
-
Bookwyrm - Goodreads alternative that I signed up for that could use more work for a genuine reading tracker.
BONUS: my least favorite Fediverse platform lately
WordPress - because I used to run art blogs on there before I heard word about drama about the CEO of the corporation so I basically had to put out my last existing art blog…RIP.
I feel like there’s still a pretty big gap in the drawing / art space. I want something that works like the furry art sites all work, which means (a) art posts and text posts separated into distinct feeds, and (b) thumbnails in a grid instead of a vertical timeline. I built a web app to do this but unfortunately it’s single-user (and basically locked to the Azure cloud). In the meantime, Pixelfed works pretty well for following Mastodon artists.
Lemmy and peertube and matrix (if it counts)
Mastdon is alr igHere on Lemmy is my favorite considering that’s what I use most on the Fediverse. Second would be the only other one I use: Mastodon.
Lemmy & Bluesky until that eventually falls off or Mastodon decides to improve itself
Is there any write-up about interops between any of them?
Lemmy and peertube
Pretty sure Kbin is dead and gone, might want to update your tree.
I think fedia.io seems to scratch the itch
Seems a little old. It should have BlueSky and FChannel
Bluesky uses ATprotocol not ActivityPub, therefore it’s not considered part of the fediverse.
Email
I wanna check out the fediverse blogging platforms, they seem interesting. Which one would you recommend? I looked at writefreely but it seems that none of the instances let you post as many blogs as you want unless you pay?
Also, is anyone working a fediverse IMDB/letterboxed alternative that uses OMDB dataset? Perhaps a Bookwyrm fork could make it not too hard to start.
- Mbin
- Misskey forks (I use CherryPick, but Sharkey is good too)
- PeerTube
- PieFed
- Mastodon
- XMPP
- Lemmy
- Akkoma
- Peertube
A Roblox alternative in the fediverse.
Because I want to get off Roblox.
Brickplanet exists, but its not a fediverse project.
Nextcloud is federated? First time I hear about that.
For me it’s Lemmy, without a doubt. Never used Twitter, tried mastodon to see what it’s all about, didn’t like it.
Matrix seems decent, but nobody I know uses it, and finding useful groups is painful, especially on other instances (servers, whatever they call them).
Also, I am confused at why nextcloud is at the intersection of networking, music, and multimedia.
Yes it technically has a video viewer and music player, but I would be very surprised if any person in the world right now is genuinely using it to post that content to the fediverse social-network style.

Unfortunately, Lemmy is the only one with content that appeals to me so far (at least to my knowledge, given the near-unsearchable nature of the fediverseso far). The platforms just aren’t large enough.
Iirc Mastodon is about to add a global search function. I’ve never used it, nor even Twitter (back before it was cancelled into X), just passing on what I heard.
And PieFed and Mbin are also sort of “Lemmy” (though neither in that graphic that I saw:-).

It is quite an old graphic.
It’s nice that our choices improve so much by new tools being built so rapidly!:-)
