Is there anybody here that uses other Fediverse services, except from Mastodon? I have been fascinated by the whole concept of ActivityPub and federated social networks, but haven't seen great value on other Fediverse offerings. Am I missing something? 😅 #federated #social #activitypub

@chrispanag #Pleroma is a very good alternative to Mastodon written in Elixir. Really great developer community, and at this point the platform works great.https://pleroma.social/

@sean @chrispanag I'd phrase that differently.Mastodon is the alternative to Pleroma.

@chrispanag Interesting question! I'm also curious to read other people's reactions. I'm still only following Mastodon and Pleroma (which I believe is a Mastodon-fork) accounts. I still hope to find useful content creators on PeerTube at some point, but so far I still watch everything on YouTube (or occasionally Vimeo). I haven't looked into how you could use Mobilizon for events, and for now I don't really feel the need to use Pixelfed myself. I think I will upload to PeerTube at some point.

@Erik Pleroma is *not* a Mastodon fork :) It's a completely different project with different tech stack! Though it can be used with Mastodon's frontend (can sort of look like Mastodon). Mobilizon project grew as a fork from Pleroma! @chrispanag If you already have friends on Mastodon, they can follow your Friendica account too. I'm connected to many people from Friendica, Hubzilla, Misskey, and have accounts on all of them (for testing). Main difference is the interface - choose what you prefer

@marcelcosta Yes that's beautiful! I would like to have more of that in my feed, people who really take the time to take beautiful pictures!I especially like nature, so animals, landscapes and people (like the 'before they pass away' cultural heritage photos by Jimmy Nelson)Monetisation for photographers should also be possible!There should also be bots posting award-winning pictures, like the world press photo's with a description, comedywildlifephoto.com etc (as attached) . =)

Hi, I'm using #Friendica on my single-user node. Beyond Mastodon and Pleroma, #PeerTube (video) and #FunkWhale (music) are also built atop #ActivityPub.

@chrispanag > but haven't seen great value on other Fediverse offerings. Am I missing something? 😅 Yes, I would say so. Mastodon is the biggest platform in the Fediverse, but not the only one and there's a lot more to experience.For example, Pleroma is similar to Mastodon, but has a much more modern design - from the engine up to the front end user interface.Things like Markdown text formatting, larger maximum toot sizes which are almost non-existant in mastodon instances...

@chrispanag ... except in Glitch-Social ones, are common in Pleroma instances.A much lighter system. Easier to install and run, requiring less hardware. With more choices, and advanced features for the users.Yes, there's a lot to see in Fediverse.
