Besides Lemmy which I love a lot, I’m also enjoying a microblog platform called Catodon, which is much less basic than Mastodon and has a very nice interface. Pixelfed is also fantastic if you like photography rather than just being Instagram influencer nonsense. Where else are you hanging out? What have you liked and not liked?

    Kbin is also great, nostr but not for microblog, just the apps for Blog, podcast, communities.

    Write freely is so beautiful and easy to host a plain blog / magazine

    Gotosocial will be always my small self hosted personal instance.

    I find Pixelfed and funkwhale too buggy…

    I have used owncast and I liked it much!

    Mobilizon is a new goto for me

      Nice, im involved in a makerspace. Mobilizon looks just right up our alley. We are perceptually on discord and our website + google calendar is how we announce our meetups. This might help us out.

    Mastodon.

    I want to love Peertube but there isn’t enough content, and what content there is almost never actually loads for me.

    Mastodon, Bookwyrm, Mbin, and I’m also on a test instance of Takahē (Mastodon compatible microblogging platform) which I quite like for the multiple personalities feature.

    Currently just Lemmy and Mastodon for me.

    If I do get back into art, I might self host something like Pixelfed or an ATProto version of it to have a gallery on my site.

    PieFed - another lemmy-like platform. Its codebase is deliberately simple, so it’s something I’ve also been able to contribute to (which is nice).

    Mastodon for social-ish media. Peertube for as much video as I can find (its hard, but a couple of creators have mirrored/moved). I want bookwyrm to take off.

  • I use mastodon occassionaly but i really feel we need something more universal like a server capable of hosting lemmy ans mastodon symultaniously, would be cool af if there was a server capable of having one username for all services. I use peertube through newpipe then make comments through lemmy but i find lwmmy is slow to update peertube content honestly wish newpipe let me commwnt using my lemmy account.

    I’ve tried a few listed here.

    I was also trying Friendica for a bit but I can’t get into it. Mainly because it was hard for me to find content. I may try again now that I’m more used to the Fediverse and how things work.

    On Mastodon, too. Some of my more niche interests are better represented there since Mastodon has more active users than Lemmy.

    I wish for a micro.blog version in php to start my blog in the fediverse, something I can host for cheap on any website hosting provider but I guess this won’t happen.

    for people who might suggest activitypub addon for wordpress. I think work on that hasn’t yet finished. and wordpress is way too bloated for a personal blog anyways.
