Mastodon - my main social feed platform that first introduced me to the Fediverse in general.
Lemmy - my second main social feed platform that originally substituted Reddit from years ago.
Matrix protocol - communication platform I use to connect with users on the Lemmy instance I'm on
Peertube - would love to get an account going and use it more often but still don't know how but there's FediVideo.
Bookwyrm - Goodreads alternative that I signed up for that could use more work for a genuine reading tracker.

BONUS: my least favorite Fediverse platform lately

WordPress - because I used to run art blogs on there before I heard word about drama about the CEO of the corporation so I basically had to put out my last existing art blog...RIP.

Lemmy of course. I love the forum format and it's a great place to fediverse content from another plateforme. I post here with alt on Bookwyrm, Forkkey and PixelFed. I can't wait to share a Loop on my favorite community. But to read content from all over the fediverse, it is best to have an account on the twittoverse. I use Sharkey. I can access so much content that's not on Lemmy. It is much less of an echo chamber plus there is lots of people and I can still post to Lemmy.

Mine is…..

Wafrn (endless customisations unlike Misskey and Sharkey) and has react buttons too with extra features such as anonymous questions etc. Basically Tumblr but way better and FOSS too.
Mastodon, very stable, great way to find out current events with minimal reactive posts etc. It just works.
Mbin, a very much more stable and regularly updated fork of kbin, and getting the best of both worlds without having to use Lemmy, due to the problematic nature of Lemmy creators.
BookWyrm, ethical version of GoodReads (and gives you control to add books that are not on the system, enhancing your experience and overall much better than GoodReads imo.

I wasn’t aware of the issues with the Lemmy devs. Some of the original posts about them don’t seem accessible. Is the issue because they are pretty pro-Chinese government?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Yes but also they’re tankies as well and have been caught previously praising hardcore dictators. Also I think the developers have also said some anti semitic stuff as well but I can’t really remember tbh so I could be wrong.

Which one should I join for funny or time killing content?

[–] seaQueue 3 points 15 hours ago

Lemmy and Mastodon have an equal amount of shitposting and meme content in my experience

Where's Plume? It's better than WriteFrreely IMO

Wasn't it discontinued?

Out of curiosity rather than necessity, are there any activitypub based messaging apps (i.e matrix/discord-like)?

One not listed is Ibis (https://ibis.wiki/) which hasn't had much traction. Honestly unsure of how useful it is as a direct wikipedia replacement but i can see it as a cool idea for a bunch of related communities that would otherwise be on separate wikis.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago

Ibis is really early days. I hosted it for a bit and had things like federation issues and softlocks. Will be really interesting when it's a bit more mature though.

Peertube, Bookwyrm, Lemmy, Mastodon in that order. Theres a ton out there I haven't tried.

I’m really new to this whole fediverse thing, but I’d love to know more. Could someone please explain to me what some/all of these applications are?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

The easiest way would be to quickly look up the ones you don't know yet. Many have Wikipedia pages and the others usually have good home pages explaining what they do. But as you can see, there's a wide range for hosting different kinds of media and discussions.

What's wrong with what the CEO did? He's right that many corps use FOSS and don't contribute back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

You can’t give away free software as open source and then start demanding royalties. Fuck Matt Mullenweg.
