I’ll go first…
My favorite Fediverse platforms as of 2024
-
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 and peertube and matrix (if it counts)
Mastdon is alr igHere on Lemmy is my favorite considering that’s what I use most on the Fediverse. Second would be the only other one I use: Mastodon.
Lemmy and Catodon and Pixelfed, in that order.
Lemmy & Bluesky until that eventually falls off or Mastodon decides to improve itself
Lemmy and peertube
Seems a little old. It should have BlueSky and FChannel
Bluesky uses ATprotocol not ActivityPub, therefore it’s not considered part of the fediverse.
Every time I see this I think it needs a Storage and a Conversation branch.
Pretty sure Kbin is dead and gone, might want to update your tree.
I think fedia.io seems to scratch the itch
Email
- Mbin
- Misskey forks (I use CherryPick, but Sharkey is good too)
- PeerTube
- PieFed
- Mastodon
I wanna check out the fediverse blogging platforms, they seem interesting. Which one would you recommend? I looked at writefreely but it seems that none of the instances let you post as many blogs as you want unless you pay?
Also, is anyone working a fediverse IMDB/letterboxed alternative that uses OMDB dataset? Perhaps a Bookwyrm fork could make it not too hard to start.
There is Matrix but no XMPP :(
- XMPP
- Lemmy
- Akkoma
- Peertube
I really wanted to like bookwyrm and use it but it’s just so bare bones. Instead, I switched from goodreads to StoryGraph like two years ago. I really like some of its features like content warnings, moods, very detailed stats of my reading habits, etc.
