@stefan just my personal. This is my first time on the Fediverse. I joined masto.ai but still looking for my community on here. I'm kinda all over the place lol.
@stefan@maikelthedev well i feel its somewhat of my job to try as much as possible of whats available haha, so thats how you end up with so many accounts.
So lots of it is for testing for my website, but I use PixelFed, Calckey and Bookwyrm as legit software for my own personal use.
Pixelfed is great, fully featured product, reminds me of very early insta.
Calckey is really fun with a ton more features over masto, but main is the timeline UX painful. Eagerly awaiting until masto api fully works so I can use Phanpy for it.
Bookwyrm is pretty good, not as good as Goodreads, but since its pretty lowkey/lowstakes usage that doesnt really matter too much. Could import all my data from Goodreads anyway, and I can still easily track my reading lists, so all fine.
I'd recommend more people to try out WriteFreely and Micro.blog. Both are fully featured well defined products, that have clear explicit visions of what blogging can also look like. Personally I settled on WordPress in the end, since my scope and vision has grown beyond blogging per se, but they are good products imo. Especially micro.blog is criminally undercovered.
Mastodon feels like my 'home' place, but I'm enjoying Calckey too - they do serve a similar purpose, but also feel different.
Pixelfed is cool, for anyone after an instagram replacement.
Friendica I've not really used, just signed up to see what it does - not even really explored it much.
Bookwyrm for book reading stuff, like it but not read much the last few months for reasons.
Plume - blog platform, a bit like WriteFreely. Development suspended for now and they recommend using WriteFreely instead, but I don't know - I found Plume seemed better for what I wanted when I looked into them. Maybe I'll try WriteFreely too, or just go all in on Wordpress with fediverse plugin.
@stefan I hit the wrong button! LOL I should have hit 4-8 instead of 2-3.
I started out with Mastodon, but got curious. There's so much to discover in the fediverse! So I also created an account on a Calckey server. I am using it right now.
I also have a Pixelfed and a Bookwyrm account. I'm not super active on them, but I am posting there every now and then.
Eventually I want to decide between Mastodon and Calckey and migrate. But I am not there yet, so I still keep my Mastodon account open. And maybe I'll even try out some other programs.
There is a solution for everyone in the fediverse. I would like to encourage everyone here to look into all the options and just try some out. Every software is different, so go and have a look!
@theresmiling Nice, it's good to try different things. You should consider writing a blog post about your experience, I know I'd love to read more about this!
@stefan I have 5 but want MORE! Spending most of my time on Mastodon or Calckey. I made a bot to toot out all of Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons. (@TenderButtons only has 5 followers so I’m still hoping there are other weirdos like me who enjoy random, really random poetry in their feeds.) I started a Pixelfed account that I’m still becoming acclimated to. AND I have a specific writing project that I’m putting on WriteFreely. Still want to learn PeerTube.
@stefan I use two accounts on the /kbin platform. One of them is on kbin.social, which was created a few days ago, and the other is on the Polish-language instance karab.in.
Additionally, I have two backup Mastodon accounts on Polish instances 101010.pl and pol.social in case my servers get sick. Occasionally, I write something on them.
@stefan I have a personal account on Universeodon and an account for my arts & crafts on Handmade.social (though I might move that to a bigger arts instance).
@stefan 101010.pl , mstdn.social , my home server (now inactive but sometimes i throw misskey there. Hacknorris.thehomeserver.net or similar url) , pixey.org .
already been on mastodon.social and mastodon.technology :)
I only use #Mastodon so far and the #Fediverse is brand new to me, but it’s so appealing! I love the decentralization, but my favourite part is my feed isn’t engineered.
@stefan I'm on Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica and PeerTube.
I run a separate Mastodon server for Gaelic-language posts and am servicing a couple of bots.
Not using Friendica much at this time. I originally signed up to dogfood my translation and used it as a Twitter client for a while when my account over there was still active.
@gunchleoc
Als Mastodon-User kann ich mir beispielsweise längere Friendica-Beiträge nicht übersetzt anzeigen lassen (ja, ich schätze DeepL sehr und möchte nicht mehr darauf verzichten)...
As a Mastodon user, I can't get longer Friendica posts translated (yes, I really appreciate DeepL and don't want to do without it anymore)... @stefan
@stefan This (mastodon), WordPress (with AP Plugin), three RSS bots.
In theory Friendica (works with errors currently) and Nextcloud-social (doesn't work at all).
I'd really like to have the Friendica or a Hubzilla instance running for functions that mastodon lacks like forum/group like things.
