Just email dan lemmy. I dont care for social media. I havent had one for a long time. I just dont see the appeal. I registered on peertube but its pretty lackluster.
Mastodon and Sharkey (Misskey fork), though I use Sharkey much less.
I also have a Matrix account which is a different kind of Federated service (chat and instant messaging) though not Federated in the same way as Lemmy and Mastodon (uses a different federation protocol).
I will if I end up caring more but for now, lemmy suffices all my needs
Maybe make onboarding easier or the fediverse dies a slow death
But nah, why bother making it easy for users to join when you can just gatekeep everything into low engagement
There it is again. That term “gatekeeping”. I see it here so damn often, but nobody ever can back up the claim.
You are saying: people are actively trying to make things difficult to use in order to keep people out? Can you give me an example? Has anyone in the fediverse rejected YOUR proposal to improve anything? Pull requests made and denied?
Ever consider that it is not gatekeeping, but the lack of millions of dollars on advertising and venture capital that makes people think anything else is easy to use? Instagram and Facebook are MUCH harder to join and MUCH harder to curate for anything useful, and keep some sanity on your privacy, but nobody complains about them.
Mastodon. Lemmy is good for discussions, but Mastodon is more Twitter -like so you can follow friends and see what they’re up to.
Mastodon and Pixelfed. Mastodon is my main (Retro Gaiden) but I’m experimenting with the Fediverse to see what works for me and what doesn’t.
“use” might be a stretch.
I have a mastodon account I check occasionally
I have a pixelfed account I use rarely
And a loops account I think I logged into onceNah that kind of thing isn’t important to me unless the product is polished and as good as the original it’s replacing including the amount of content available
Misskey, as most of East Asian and SEA community are on there.
Matrix
Matrix, XMPP, Mastodon, Lemmy,
Nah, you seem like more of a Discord user – centralised, censored and commie
Mastodon. It’s much better than Lemmy.
Besides Mbin, I’ve been using Sharkey a lot. It’s really nice! I also want to use Peertube and Owncast more.
Mastodon is my go-to “shout in the void about my goings-on” platform.
Pixelfed is where I post my original photography and artwork.
Bookwyrm is for my book nerdery, mostly.
Edit: Oh and I have a Matrix account but despite the fact that I mentioned it to literally all of my friends, nobody uses it. I keep it around in case someone actually wants to send me private messages because Mastodon is kinda badly suited for that.
@umbraroze @ALostInquirer On the Subject of pixelfed, I recently (about a month ago) brought up pixelfed.eskimo.com/, but I seem not to be able to get it to federate. Any tips?
Tried them all, I think. Lemmy is the only one I like this far.
