Confused on what fediverse apps to use (self.fediverse)

I have recently started using fediverse apps, mostly lemmy and mastodon. So far Lemmy is the only one I use the most and kind of understand.

On mastodon, i mostly follow news accounts (likely bots). Toots in my feed rarely have any comments.

I have been using matrix for messaging long before i have started using other apps in the fediverse.

A few days ago I learned about Misskey and Calckey (idk the difference between them) and would like to try those out, but I'm kind of feeling overwhelmed by all these different apps different instances and whatnot.

Also i get the impression that there is this issue where some posts in one app is displayed very differently in another app.

So is there a way to use any one of these apps (Calckey or misskey for example) and get all my social needs done (including messaging) ?

I apologize, if I'm not being clear.

There's some I haven't used, but Kbin will do Mastodon-style microblogging and Lemmy-style threads, so that's the best of both worlds. I don't think the private messaging function works on it yet though.

No mobile app (yet) unfortunately.

I’m replying to you right now from the Artemis app beta!

There's no public release as of yet though.

There is not a public release just yet, but just yesterday Artemis tripled or quadrupled the amount of people they onboarded! Scaling up very quickly.

I heard that kbin don't have an public API, so mobile apps would have to scrap data from website. That would explain why it doesn't have mobile apps

The site works well enough on mobile, so it is usable without an app.

That said, I prefer to use a native app, or a well-designed webapp like wefwef.

Pwa works just like an app... A bit too well. Would prefer still having some features of web browsers sometimes.
