Alt Text: A screenshot of the tab bar and address bar of Firefox where twelve different fediverse websites are pinned. There is a new DuckDuckGo search being made in the address bar saying, "I think I might have a problem."
The 12 services are Mastodon, Glitch Edition, Misskey, IceShrimp, Akkoma, Friendica, Lemmy, Kbin, PieFed, Pixelfed, BookWyrm, and PeerTube.
Oh, I actually made all of these accounts just to come to terms with the granular differences (and interactions) between each platform. The main reason I have all these accounts is to run little experiments to see how all the functionality works and to try underutilized features that I wouldn't normally touch on my main fediverse account.
My hope is that I can come to a more informed decision about which platform I should use long-term for my main account. Migrating just to try out something new can be challenging, after all. I also want to determine whether I should bother having more than one fediverse account.
Would there be any way you could share your observations/opinions when you feel like you've gotten to that point? I'd like to hear comparison notes and stuff like that.
I am considering writing a blog post on WriteFreely or something to wrap things up later. Comparing the features and flow for certain tasks could be interesting. I assume most people on the fediverse haven't tried more than a couple platforms (I had only signed up for 3 despite using the fediverse since 2015).
I just have to decide how far I really wanna go with this, since there's a spectrum between general impressions and a deep dive into every meaningful feature. If I do that, I'll be tempted to report any bugs I find. 😅 So I guess we'll see what happens.
Obviously, please share if you do!
I've only used a few so far. Mastodon, Kbin, and Lemmy. Lemmy is my daily driver; I'm not really a microblogging person.
I'm interested in Friendica, Piefed, and Pixelfed too. BookWyrm's concept is cool as shit, I just don't read enough books to make use of it (this needs to change). There is an idea I heard about a community driven recipe/cooking fediverse site, that I heard on a podcast (decentered podcast I think?) that sounded really cool and like something I'd probably use often.
