FediDB lists 67 software projects in the Fediverse. Just scroll through it and try whatever suits you.
My personal favorites:
And lately I scrolled a bit through Wafrn, it's a whole different vibe over there. I don't understand much, but that's what I love about it.
Can you explain PeerTube? From what I gather, people set up their own instances for their stuff and no instance allows sign ups. So I need to create my own instance in order to even get a feed and notified of new posts?
Bookwyrm is nice, but it only knows about 20% of my Goodreads book shelf.
There are a lot of instances that allow signups. Go to fediverse observer, filter by registration and country, order by active users and you'll get a decent list.
Or check one of these instances and request an account, just to name a few.
