⚪🔴🟤🟡🟠⚫🟢🔵🟣This is your daily reminder that contrary to the hype and marketing hullabaloo but #Mastodon is not the #fediverse and the #federation is actually a huge tapestry thousands of servers and volunteers and dozens if not hundreds of developers and even more volunteers who have made this space what you see today.When you accidentally or intentionally spread the misinformation you erode the very foundation of what has drawn you to this place to begin with.You are marginalizing great projects like:Diaspora — The OG. None of this would be possible were it not for two college kids who had a dream and set up a Kickstarter to fund its development back in 2010. Over 29,000 of your fellow fediverse peers are on #Diaspora at this very moment. (10/22/2022)Friendica — The one app that lets anyone or any organization literally create their own private #facebook on the fediverse and make it accessible and federated with the rest of the World. It also has very modest hosting requirements making it accessible to more people to host without requiring a VPS or complex server setups. About 6,700 federation citizens use #Friendica each and every day and it’s still in active development. (10/22/2022)Hubzilla — The successor to Friendica, #Hubzilla took what was great about Friendica and made it all the better. About 2,200 of your fediverse neighbors use Hubzilla every day. (10/22/2022)Peertube — Calling #PeerTube a “YouTube competitor” doesn’t do it justice. PeerTube is so much more than a competitor to YouTube. In a very real sense it’s a YouTube killer, if only more people knew about it and more people used it. PeerTube lets anybody stand up a service and then instantenously their published videos become accessible to the entire Federation (and vice versa). There are approximately 113,000 active PeerTube users in the federation right now. (10/22/2022)Mastodon — #Mastodon came on the scene in 2016 and promised a more user-friendly experience. Coupled with some fortunate timing and early publicity it quickly became the darling of the fediverse. It’s certainly the software with the most amount of users. 1.28 million active users back in October, but recent events mean this number is woefully inaccurate today.Pleroma — Less than a year after launch, disagreements with certain design decisions and direction with the Mastodon project gave birth to #Pleroma, a lightweight alternative to Mastodon that at the time ironically offered a more user-friend experience than Mastodon itself and pioneered features years ago that are just now being implemented by Mastodon and other projects. Pleroma’s bug claim to fame was that you could stand up a robust instance on a single RasperryPi with little trouble. Approximately 26,000 of your fediverse neighbors access the federation from their Pleroma accounts. (10/22/2022).Pixelfed — #Pixelfed is the federation’s answer to Instagram. By standing up a public or private Pixelfed server you enable yourself (or the public) to post rich multimedia content (photos and videos), “stories”, and more that instantly are accessible to the rest of the federation. Over 36,000 of your fediverse peers are here right now through Pixelfed. (10/22/2022)And there’s others!Lemmy — #Lemmy is a federated version of Reddit (or Digg or HackerNews). It’s a federated link-aggregator. Individuals can stand up their own servers or communities of topics.Funkwhale — #Funkwhale is a federated version of Soundcloud or Bandcamp for sharing your music library with other Funkwhale users and the Federation.BookWyrm — #BookWyrm is a federated version of GoodReads. A federated instance by book lovers and for book lovers.🟣🔵🟢⚫🟠🟡🟤🔴⚪

@gme God I wish more people used PeerTubelike, I still use YouTube just because I can never find the content I'm looking for on PT, and it's harder to get viewers on there too (although I will still use it and upload my stuff to both)but it's so good and it'd be so much better if there were more people on it

@gme it'd also be cool if you could see videos from other fedi accts on PeerTubee.g. mastodon.lol and tube.techncs.de federate but I can't see my mastodon.lol acct from tube.techncs.de, even though I've also posted videos on therebut I've heard that on Pixelfed you can see microblogging accts and you just can only see the posts they've posted that include pictures

For the most part, yes. You just need to follow accounts on those services.

@gme Hey, thanks for writing this all out for us! I'm still pretty new to the fediverse and been a bit confused by all these names/servers/places. Now it all kind of "clicks" together. I'll do a like exploring around later. :blobcatpeek:

There's a little repository in the middle of nowhere which is the latest and greatest of the Friendica/Hubzilla family and continues the evolution of its forebears while treading a lot of completely new ground. It has no brand identity of its own but you can just call it 'streams' if you feel a need to associate names to things.

@gme bueno por lo q entiendo entonces mastodon es solo la punta del iceberg, hay varios servicios más pululando a través del fediverso con sus alternativas a Youtube, IG, etc...

This is how I explained it to someone the other day:The Fediverse is a giant park. A city square. A place where people from all over come to meet with friends, maybe have a picnic or a cup of coffee.Mastodon is Starbucks.A very popular and numerous chain of Coffee Shops with locations all around the World.Chances are every major city in the World has a Starbucks Coffee Shop.When you go to Starbucks, I mean "Mastodon", you're magically transported to that same park or city square that everyone else in the World is also transported to when they too go to Starbucks. I mean, "Mastodon".But here's the key.Starbucks is not the only place where you can buy coffee, right?Of course not!And many coffee drinkers will even argue with you that maybe Starbucks doesn't even sell the best coffee, either.And thus is the same with the Fediverse.There are other coffee shops. And if someone per chance wants to buy their coffee from a small Café, it doesn't matter. Because they too are also transported to that same giant park or "city center" that everyone else is visiting at the same time.The fediverse is just the park.It's not owned or run by any one person, company, organization, or government.How you access that park, that's what Mastodon is.And if you like Starbucks coffee, more power to you.I know some Turks though that would loudly disagree with you though. 🙂

If I'm wrong I'll gladly correct. I'm only human. @lain Is that true? Was Pleroma originally a FE to GnuSocial?

You're talking about Pleroma-FE. I was referring to Pleroma-BE.

I'm not going to get into a flame war with you. If Lain corrects me I'll make the corrections. I based my information on first hand recollection of the events of the time. But hey, I could always be misrembering things.But I'm not going to entertain a flame war with you.I appreciate the feedback.Have a good evening/ day, etc.

@gme Thank you; I had begun to hear about these and will go xploring once I’ve got to grips with Mastodon. The idea that you can interact across the Fediverse is really interesting. I feel a bit like an Imperial scientist examining a nuclear-powered personal shield…

@gme I love the idea of the fediverse and have on apps installed: pixelfed, peertube and writefreely (https://writefreely.org/) which was not on your list.But I have to say that many of the apps are not user friendly e.g., lack of mobile apps, in many ways. You have to be a true enthusiast to stay aboard. I have the impression that the fediverse developer community does not have the scale to truly make the apps user friendly, therefore, success is limited

I appreciate the feedback. That was corrected in a later version of my post.
