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
I still can't login to Funkwhale no matter what I try.
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.
Mastodon.
I want to love Peertube but there isn't enough content, and what content there is almost never actually loads for me.
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.
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.
Matrix deserves a retrial.
Pixelfed and peertube is for creators? For us Mucroblog is enough to follow them.
Also I don't like microblogging format much
Catodon you can do quite long posts actually, it's well designed that way.
Any casual chat rooms for matrix where you can meet people ? I couldn't find any at all.
Nope I am in project rooms only.
Well i guess i have no place there.
Kbin, mastodon, bookwyrm. Was on miskey but idk what happened to the server I was on.
Firefish? It died. Try Catodon if you want a clone!
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.
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).
I just read about that one, I'll come join. More fediverse the better.
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.
I also tried Friendica but I don't seem to really get it.
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
Thank you. I'd like to understand better.
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.
On Mastodon, too. Some of my more niche interests are better represented there since Mastodon has more active users than Lemmy.
Lemmy (not for too long, hopefully), Kbin, PeerTube (even uploading content every week), Mastodon and Pixelfed.
Lemmy, Sharkey, and following channels on Peertube
Pretty much just Mastodon. That's pretty much it.
Just wanted to say that Catodon is a much nicer microblog interface and you can look at Mastodon from it!
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.
I just find Mastodon rather basic. But may a thousand fediverse sites bloom.
Having that is never a bad idea.
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.
I find Mastodon very basic myself.
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.
I use another Matodon like platform called Catodon. The interface is MUCH nicer.
diaspora still exists.
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.
I've heard of catodon
It's absolutely lovely. And you can read all of Mastodon from it as well.
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.
Not that I'm aware of.
