There are several macroblog platforms in the Fediverse. My personal favourite is #Friendica. It’s certainly not the most intuitive platform. But it works extremely well and has the most connectivity (next to Hubzilla).

In addition to AP, Diaspora and a number of other older Fedi protocols, I’m connected to Tumblr & Bluesky here and can interact directly with users there.

The UI got stuck sometime in the middle of 2015. More front-end developers are needed to remedy this shortcoming.

Firefish, on the other hand, is super modern but feels a bit sluggish (for my taste). Alongside Friendica, it’s actually a great platform, also because both use RSS and Markdown, a markup language that’s great for creating structured content.

If I follow the internal discussions at Diaspora, it doesn’t want to either and it has been justified in various places that AP is not an alternative for Diaspora.

♲ @denschub@pod.geraspora.de:

diaspora* has no interest in implementing ActivityPub, so I don’t know what your question even means.

@olivier @spitz
You are probably referring to this article. That is in the past. The Diaspora team had learned and the protocol is now far more advanced than ActivityPub.

By the way, it was Friendica and Diaspora that founded the Fediverse. Back then, that was 2010.

The genius of Fediverse. I don’t even have a #lemmy or #kbin account. I use #Friendica, which has groups of its own. And I can subscribe to Lemmy or Kbin groups and communicate with them.
The Fediverse is big and powerful.
