I use Mastodon and Pixelfed mainly. But I also have an account on Friendica and Loops.video, but I rarely use them. And does Matrix count?
Oh and I forgot about Funkwhale for putting your music collection online.
Matrix certainly counts as “federated” which is whats in the title, but its not using activitypub so its not “fediverse”. Email is also federated and i assume you have that too lol
Good point.
Everyone is mentioning email. I also use the World Wide Web.
DNS is also super cool can’t imagine my life without it
This is the only federated software that I use because it is the only one in a format I enjoy using. I liked reddit for the threaded forum kinda format, so lemmy was an easy transition.
Never liked facebook/twitter/instagram or those formats so no interest in a federated version of them. There could be something out there I would also like, but thst would require trying more things and I gave up after bouncing off a few.
Matrix and Email :D
Mastodon on my pen name.
Piefed for the hell of it.
Used to use one of the “key” forks, but the instance I was on shut down, and I never went back.
Haven’t really bothered with the rest because they don’t fit any needs, and tend to be based around things that aren’t my personal interests enough to use regularly. Peertube, I’ll never put videos up, but I use it when other people link to it.
That’s really it. I don’t want/need the kind of services friendica is for, nor whatever the name of the Instagram clone is, and loops is totally not my thing.
I don’t have anything against them, mind you, I just don’t use those kind of platforms
I host: GotoSocial, Bookwyrm, Matrix, and a number of self hosted git related services (Radicle/Forgeo). Some awesome emulators of more modern game consoles are over on the federated git (not GitHub) nowadays.
I also made a UI that transforms mastodon to look more like lemmy/piefed/etc…, where hashtags are the communities. Its not really ready and very bare bones.
I have a funkwhale account. I wish I used it more.
Most of the above have an rss feed so thats how I keep up with it all.
Just Peertube. I’ve been orphaned from my Mastodon instance and I don’t think I’m going to sign up for another one.
Mastodon, but I’ve largely dropped it for Bluesky. I’m no purist about full decentralization, and I think it’s enough that the latter both has users, and isn’t currently awful.
I’ve used Bookwyrm a bit. I kinda like it. But it had some UX issues imo, and didn’t keep me hooked.
Also tried Pixelfed. It’s pretty slick, but I just can’t see the point. Like Instagram, seeing a feed of just pictures wasn’t all that interesting to me… though I probably just haven’t followed the right accounts.
Mastodon. Lemmy is good for discussions, but Mastodon is more Twitter -like so you can follow friends and see what they’re up to.
In times past, when it was still thriving, I was an avid user of Usenet.
Besides lemmy only pixelfed
I use Mastodon and Goblin
Excluding email, nope. Seeing as no one else in my friend group uses Federated services, and they’re all still too small to cover most niches, there isn’t really anything for me.
Mastodon and Sharkey (Misskey fork), though I use Sharkey much less.
I also have a Matrix account which is a different kind of Federated service (chat and instant messaging) though not Federated in the same way as Lemmy and Mastodon (uses a different federation protocol).
