    Can you really call Matrix “fediverse software” if it doesn’t implement ActivityPub and therefore doesn’t federate with the majority of Fediverse instances?

      The fediverse is an umbrella term. I don’t know that anyone thinks of it as limited to activitypub.

      Matrix might not interact with activitypub platforms, but it’s definitely federated, and definitely contains a universe of content.

      I’ve found a couple active “spaces” (the equivalent of discord servers, a collection of users and rooms, not just one group chat) that are great.

      I access all that from my own instance, thanks to federation.

      Fediverse is more than ActivityPub, it’s also Matrix, Nostr, Bluesky

    PieFed is my favorite lemmy type software and the recent subscribe to post feature is great. Phanpy for mastodon is the best mastodon client hands down and Threaded (open source mastodon app that looks like Threads) is shaping up to be great too.

    Mastodon, Peertube, PixelFed, and (unfortunately) Threads. [I’m forced to have a Threads account because of my job in media. I’m on Instagram and Twitter for the same reason]

    I’m also super excited for Loops, but it hasn’t launched yet.

    I pop into my Akkoma account every so often. It has all the same content as Mastodon but it does a good job of back-filling replies so I see more of the conversation.

    About to reopen a matrix account. Mostly for tech support.

    Didn’t really like Twitter, Mastodon holds no interest really.

    I do like Lemmy a lot but mostly awaiting a search engine and the rest of the Reddit subs moving over.

    Maybe there’s room for a fediverse fb in my life but I don’t see the world moving over anytime soon. I loathe fb but find some of the groups too useful to leave.

    I have a mastodon account, but I use it more like an RSS feed (which I also have). The microblogging format isnt very appealing to me for discussion so I do that here.

      The first is like twitter, what are the other 3? I’ve never heard of them.

    Just Lemmy, and I only moved to Lemmy because of the Reddit protests.

    The only reason I use Twitter is so I can follow Sonic and Project 06. I don’t think anyone’s copypasting that to Mastodon.
