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.

What Fediverse services do you actually, regularly use?

I am an instance administrator for three Friendica instances, Mastodon glitch-soc and Lemmy. I am also a moderator for three large Mastodon instances, Pixelfed and Flohmarkt...

Putting the software I use the most in the first place, I would say I use:

  1. Mastodon, that is my historical account @informapirata (Mastodon is really immediate) and Friendica (the most complete experience even if less ergonomic)
  2. Mastodon glitch-soc (immediate like Mastodon, but with formatting)
  3. Lemmy (fast and with the best layout in the fediverse)
  4. Peertube
  5. Pixelfed, Mbin, Pleroma, Misskey, Piefed, Bonfire etc that I use mostly for testing
  6. Flohmarkt that I started using only a few weeks ago

You're deep into the Fediverse!

Flohmarkt is an interesting concept, I've heard of it before, but I don't know much about.

Yes... 😅 "E il naufragar m'è dolce in questo mare... 🤣"

Flohmarkt is an interesting concept, I’ve heard of it before, but I don’t know much about.

at the moment it is very little: it is almost touching for how basic it is in its functions! it even lacks the RSS feed which is a constant for almost all the software of the Fediverse... 😅

However I am convinced that it could have a very interesting development in the medium and long term

it even lacks the RSS feed

Oh boy... Well... I'll keep tabs on it!

Maybe soon!!
