Fediverse

I've never used it but apparently people like it, but it's got some pretty interesting development choices, I'll just leave it like that.

Another Reddit-like software that reads the Fediverse like Mbin. I'm speaking to you from Piefed.

Like a twitch alternative?

It has a lot of cool features, I'm almost tempted to switch but am waiting on the app I use to finish supporting it first.

Hey, hey you.

Get some.

It makes it look like a shitpost at a glance lol

Fair point,

I omitted Facebook in my image because fuck that kind of social media (my opinion)

I picked PieFed over Lemmy because UX is everything and currently PieFed has much better UX.

Revolt (now known as Stoat) isn't federated though.

PieFed has flair and topics, which make it easier to find content you like.

To me. It's the same thing but PieFed has better UX and more featues.

Which one you pick is for the most part irrelevant.

Its up to you. They are different software but both read lemmy and Piefed communities and instances.

https://tilvids.com/ isn't horrible, but you have to go in with an open mind

That’s because there aren’t any, at least none that could even remotely compete with YouTube.

Bookwyrm is cool, it just needs more attention and interaction. It would be cool if it could expand into other forms of media (games, movies) like NeoDB, which again feels like posting into the void.

I've seen the Reddit users be more receptive of PieFed over Lemmy. In a post suggesting Lemmy, the Reddit users will just comment that it looks ugly, it's confusing, devs are tankies, etc. Posts suggesting PieFed get less complaints and more signups.

Also I think the instance choice is easier for PieFed compared to Lemmy. If you tell people to use Lemmy, they'll probably end up on lemmy.world which is overpopulated, or lemmy.ml...
