There’s so many ways to interact with the Fediverse. The most popular, by far, seems to be Mastodon, but Lemmy, Misskey, and Pixelfed are also relatively popular. Kbin used to be popular, but it has apparently been abandoned, and is mostly dead at this point.
I recently learned that Mbin is a thing, checked it out, and it looked really cool! Has anyone used it? How different is it from Lemmy? I hear they have better integration with Mastodon.
What Fediverse services do you actually, regularly use?
For me, it’s mostly Lemmy, though I do hop on Mastodon every now and then.
In random order
Loops
Peertube very sparingly. Youtube is still king.
Lemmy. Nuked my 14 year old Reddit account today. Lemmy is great.
Pixelfed
Mastodon
Wordpress if that is counted as federated
It’s an option for the blog owners to select, but it’s more federated than Loops (which currently isn’t federated at all). As a random example, here is a Wordpress blog post that was federated out to Mastodon, and then federated out to PieFed.
I did try to federate my blog to Mastodon. Haven’t made a post in a long time though, so I can’t tell if it works or not.
Gosh, I have to try out Loops…
NGL, I think Lemmy is better than Reddit. I enjoy it more. I can’t put my finger on why, though… They’re basically the same… Maybe it’s just a UI issue.
I can tell you why, it’s the absolutely shitty Reddit mobile app that’s filled with annoying ads. Meanwhile, Lemmy has some really good third-party apps
Well, no, it is not that… My Reddit app has no ads. I vanced it.
I don’t get ads on anything, nowadays. I can imagine how that might sour the experience tho.
The Lemmy apps are way better than the Reddit app tho, that’s for sure!
I do believe the type of people and lack of the karma system also makes it better. People do anything to get some karma.
Criiiinge…
