I'll go first...

My favorite Fediverse platforms as of 2024

Mastodon - my main social feed platform that first introduced me to the Fediverse in general.
Lemmy - my second main social feed platform that originally substituted Reddit from years ago.
Matrix protocol - communication platform I use to connect with users on the Lemmy instance I'm on
Peertube - would love to get an account going and use it more often but still don't know how but there's FediVideo.
Bookwyrm - Goodreads alternative that I signed up for that could use more work for a genuine reading tracker.

BONUS: my least favorite Fediverse platform lately

WordPress - because I used to run art blogs on there before I heard word about drama about the CEO of the corporation so I basically had to put out my last existing art blog...RIP.

Much more advanced moderation tools: https://join.piefed.social/2024/06/22/piefed-features-for-growing-healthy-communities/

Actual instance blocking compared to the incomplete "mute communities" instance blocking on Lemmy

Development seems fasters than Lemmy, they are almost at feature parity while being much younger

I looked thru this blog hopeful that there would be protection against mod abuse. Instead you can get banned for downvoting? I don't want to be looking over my back because some dipshit mod had a bad take. This is generating way too much analytical data on users. Communities don't need empowered super mods treating users like numbers on a spreadsheet. Lemmy for sure has problems (ml) but this isn't the answer.

It doesn't need to be the answer. It just needs to be an answer for certain use cases. Both platforms can easily coexist. That's the beauty of federation.

But wont you lose like 99% of the user base? Or is it cross compatible?

PieFed communicates with Lemmy. Same content, different platform. That's one awesome thing about federation.

There is also mbin (fork of kbin), and Sublinks, which is API compatible with Lemmy so should be able to use Lemmy apps with it (from memory, this is what Beehaw are hoping to move to).
