@haikushack sweet! there are also federated alternatives to many of those - pleroma is Instagram, bookwyrm is Goodreads, there’s been talk of building a federated event service, etc. lots of cool stuff built on the activitypub protocol, which links it all together @haikushack @christa here's a website I know that has soo many fediverses listed: https://fedidb.org/software @difwwh @haikushack @christa and another good list to know of, very complete IMHO: https://delightful.club/delightful-fediverse-apps/ @christa @haikushack minor correction, Pixelfed is the insta replacement :-) Pleroma is a different microblog platform that interoperates very well with Mastodon. Letting these sometimes quite different services talk to each other is the power of ActivityPub. I find it really impressive how this really works in practice, thanks to ppl like @Gargron getting it implemented and working well in real systems. |
@christa Honestly, My mind is blown right now. I just had no idea how much I have been missing by just focusing on FB and Twitter. I hate Instagram and TikTok with a passion. So now, I have a place to rediscover real social media.
