Mastodon but not really active since I’m not a fan of the microblogging format. I was planning to sign up to a peertube instance to upload my music but haven’t gotten to it yet.

I wish there was most fediverse to matrix bridges. Like just easy buttons to share from one to the other. Like if I just sent you a chat request or put one up on this thread and we could hop on matrix to chat about this thread in real time, and right click share a text block from there back to Lemmy.

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah that would be really cool

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Everywhere.

I am omnipresent.

Mastodon, but as others have said, I’m not a fan of microblogs and I like communities better.

ETA: Also Pixelfed. Some of the posters there are very talented photographers and artists.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 5 points 11 months ago

Well, I use email and RSS. I know those aren't based on ActivityPub, but they're decentralized systems all the same.

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Mastodon, but I'm not too fond of microblogging. I'm mostly there to follow a couple FOSS projects.

Mastodon, but I like Lemmy because it has community separation, and a basic algorithm feed. Gotta try Peertube at one point.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Nice try, FBI!

[–] justlookingfordragon@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Kbin and Lemmy.ml mostly. The majority of communities I follow and/or interact with are on Lemmy.World, but this is due to the fact that I have a bunch of rather niche interests and other instances lack content about those.

For example, there seem to be only 2 communities about The Owl House: !theowlhouse@lemmy.world (which is pretty active) and !theowlhouse@toons.zone which has a single post that is 6 months old and doesn't even credit the artist, plus an inactive mod. It's a no-brainer which one I want to follow.

I guess this "lack of content" will change over time, but as of now, the Fediverse still needs to grow a lot to make smaller communities worthwile.

I'm also Fizzymus on Mastodon. Among other people. I'd have to map out the Fediverse before I can answer in full.

[–] Kierunkowy74@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Mastodon, PeerTube, Mobilizon, WriteFreely

[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Kbin, and peertube. Just didn't get into Mastadon. Seconding "does Matrix count?" Because both matrix chat and third room.io ! Also I'm on both Codeberg and Gitlab so eventually both of those places too!

[–] russjr08@bitforged.space 3 points 11 months ago

Mastodon, and Matrix - Also another "Not sure if Matrix counts", but I believe its still considered to be part of the Fediverse, even if it doesn't speak ActivityPub!

Hopefully some more platforms soon as well.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I do have a separate Mastodon account, but I rarely ever use it. It's mostly for browsing stuff all across the fediverse since... well, I can.

I have to hear some good things about Matrix before I can join that, since it doesn't speak ActivityPub.

[–] daredevil@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

kbin and mastodon

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

I am on mastodon.art

[–] sparky678348@lemm.ee -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Threads is a wonderful platform, there and here.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

All I ever see on Threads nowadays is people complaining about the beef between Palestine and Israel. It doesn't even feel like a separate social platform anymore, it feels like Twitt- I mean X all over again.

Also, it hasn't joined the fediverse yet, and I don't think it will anymore.

[–] sparky678348@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

If you were seeing Middle East arguments that's your algo, I get video games and anime and book content mostly.

I didn't hear about it not joining the Fediverse? That's a shame.

Twitter never clicked with me, I probably spent a cumulative 3 hours or less on Twitter over the last decade. Threads on the other hand, I immediately understood it and enjoyed it in a way that Twitter made impossible.
