Mastodon is my go-to “shout in the void about my goings-on” platform.

Pixelfed is where I post my original photography and artwork.

Bookwyrm is for my book nerdery, mostly.

Edit: Oh and I have a Matrix account but despite the fact that I mentioned it to literally all of my friends, nobody uses it. I keep it around in case someone actually wants to send me private messages because Mastodon is kinda badly suited for that.

Misskey, as most of East Asian and SEA community are on there.

Everyone is mentioning email. I also use the World Wide Web.

Mastodon and Sharkey (Misskey fork), though I use Sharkey much less.

I also have a Matrix account which is a different kind of Federated service (chat and instant messaging) though not Federated in the same way as Lemmy and Mastodon (uses a different federation protocol).

I use :

microblog

• mastodon for political content as it allows me to avoid lenghty and tendious discussion with its 500 characters limit. But…i stopped using it for a while due to current news on climate change and fascism. And i’m not fan of its UI
• IceShrimp. I love its colorful UI. For me it one of the best UI on the fediverse. It also have a good balance between lenghty text and short one. It also support markdown. 3000 characters is enough

forumverse

• lemmy, it was good when we migrated from Reddit but over time i prefer PieFed.
• Mbin, i tried it but i dunno why i don’t use it as much as Lemmy whereas there were much more functionalities and cool ideas.
• PieFed i’m starting to use it much more than Lemmy. There are plenty great ideas as downvote management, tags, poll, multicommu, support peertube and a.gup.pe. It is better each week.

Matrix, XMPP, Mastodon, Lemmy,

I host: GotoSocial, Bookwyrm, Matrix, and a number of self hosted git related services (Radicle/Forgeo). Some awesome emulators of more modern game consoles are over on the federated git (not GitHub) nowadays.

I also made a UI that transforms mastodon to look more like lemmy/piefed/etc…, where hashtags are the communities. Its not really ready and very bare bones.

I have a funkwhale account. I wish I used it more.

Most of the above have an rss feed so thats how I keep up with it all.

Mastodon and Pixelfed. Mastodon is my main (Retro Gaiden) but I’m experimenting with the Fediverse to see what works for me and what doesn’t.

mbin fanboy

moooist babyyy

Besides Mbin, I’ve been using Sharkey a lot. It’s really nice! I also want to use Peertube and Owncast more.

Mastodon. Lemmy is good for discussions, but Mastodon is more Twitter -like so you can follow friends and see what they’re up to.

Matrix

Mastodon. It’s much better than Lemmy.

I don’t use Lemmy, I am reading this post on MBin

“use” might be a stretch.

I have a mastodon account I check occasionally
I have a pixelfed account I use rarely
And a loops account I think I logged into once
