Ask Lemmy

I've been on Lemmy and Mastodon for a little while but still not super active on either, and haven't really kept up with fediverse stuff as a whole.

With that said, I'm interested, what are you using, how are you using it, and what are you using it on? Do you have a bunch of accounts per platform? Do you try use one account across everything as much as you can?

I'll go first with something of a template that might make responding easier for people:

EDIT: Apologies for the formatting, it seems like some of the markdown stuff is broken/very different to any other markdown formatting I've used and this is the best I can do. Hope it's legible enough.

Mastodon

• Accounts: 2 — an anonymous one that I occasionally post from (on an NZ instance) and one under my real name that I basically just use to save my name as a handle (on mastodon.social, cos it seems like the one most likely to endure all things)

• Apps: Ice Cubes, Mammoth — I have both accounts on both apps, I like each for different reasons. Ice Cubes is super customisable and open, Mammoth is pretty.

• Uses: Following some podcast hosts, keeping up with local news.

Lemmy

• Accounts: 1 — just this one I'm posting from.

• Apps: Memmy and Mlem. I was a long-time Apollo user and have been seeking out a Lemmy app with that level of polish. Nothing really feels quite the same, but I'm sure with time one of them will get there.

• Uses: Trying to replace Reddit as a discussion board for a bunch of topics I my real-world friends aren't as interested in, and for keeping up with tech news.

Pixelfed

• Accounts: 1 — under my real name.

• Apps: 0 at the moment. I used the Pixelfed test flight app for a while, but it seemed to be hurting my battery life. When it gets a proper app store release, I'll probably grab it again if nothing else comes along.

• Uses: Trying to make it as much of an old-Instagram replacement as possible.

Now it's your turn. What other platforms are you on, how are you using them, etc.
