I like Lemmy. Active development, lots of third party apps, active community, etc but what other Fediverse projects are worth getting into like this one?
For microblogging (Twitter), I know Mastodon is really popular but there are so many other microblogging options like Pleroma, Misskey, FireFish, etc that I don’t know which one is really worth getting into (as a user, dev, or admin). Are any of these on par with Lemmy?
For video, there’s PeerTube. The content isn’t great at all and most servers struggle to pay bills. I think the YouTube replacement is a looong way to go.
Bookwyrm for organizing your book library and making reading goals (just like in Goodreads).
Also, few weeks ago I switched to friendica from mastodon and it is really such a better experience. You have so many features and it’s compatible with a lot of other fedi apps that it quickly became my hub for the biggest part of the fediverse.
Get in to the ones that fill a niche for you!
Like, it doesn’t matter how good PeerTube is, I’m unlikely to use it, because I rarely consume “Youtube like” content and when I do, it’s without an account or interaction, following external links.
But I use the threadiverse and microfediverse as my only social media outlets.
Yeah I think I’ll try out a bunch and see what I like
If I was a YouTube creator and would know anything about hosting then I’d get a $5 VPS and host my videos there by myself, this is one of the few ways you can be in controll.
