    … and probably more that I’m not able to think of.

    * I recommend all the ones with asterisks. I haven't tried most of the other ones yet.

    I’m happy with Communick. They offer Lemmy, Mastodon, Matrix, and Funkwhale for one subscription. Its worth paying for, because the Fediverse isn’t free.

      FUCKING PAID?! sorry but isn’t the fediverse supposed to be free?! it’s decentralized so anyone can just host their own instance for free. youre a bot. i know Steve, dont lie to me, tell me, are you a person that works at communick?

        It’s not free. Servers and bandwidth cost money.
        If you’re not paying, someone is being generous and paying for you.

        No I don’t work there. But I have been paying for 2 years. And it’s the only way for the Fediverse to scale. Donations won’t get us to 100M users and beyond.

            Not even 100 subscribers.
            But I was referring to the Fediverse in general. It won’t ever scale to a real global default social network, on the donations and the kindness of strangers.

            If we don’t pay for it, then it’ll be paid for by adds.
            Then we’re back to what we’re trying to get away from.
            Communick or whatever, just pay. Even if it’s a donation.

              Sure, but if you make it mandatory to pay for anyone to use - it doesn’t grow. And if you’re right about the Fediverse, donations aren’t enough and it also dies.

                People make lots of online buisness that grow just fine.

                It’s just when people get used to a kind of thing being free, they feel like its impossible or stupid to pay for it. Even when those same people complain about how enshittification ruins everything, they refuse to directly pay instead.

                  I didn’t say it couldn’t grow, just that model becoming huge is very unlikely.

        If you’re not paying for domain and hosting someone else is. If you are so sure that’s free, why don’t you self-host your own instance?

        I don’t know anything at all about communick, just saying. Supporting a fediverse provider run by individuals who otherwise volunteer their time monetarily is a virtue not a sin, and plenty of open projects do this.

    I only use lemmy/mbin/piefed thing for now. I would call it a reddit replacement but its really to me a newsgroup replacment. I like being a member of the federation so far over the reddit star empire.

    I’m currently using Lemmy, and Friendica as my only fediverse accounts, and will probably keep it that way. Friendica has a lot of features, but in my experience it’s slower than most

      isn’t friendica, diaspora, mastodon, and half of the fediverse is federated by activitypub? you’re basically making a lot of accounts for the same service

        Diaspora isn’t, and I’m not sure if it has activity pub support at all? Most other things are. APub is turned on for Friendica (DFRN protocol) by default, and Hubzilla (Zot protocol) allows you to enable it pretty easily.

        My line gets drawn based on what they’re made for. Friendica, Mastodon, GoToSocial, all of the *key forks, are all similar enough that I just have one account for all of them. They’re for microblogging.

        Lemmy isn’t for microblogging, it’s a link aggregator/community forum-adjacent thing. It’s different enough in function that I want a different account/client for it, especially if we’re talking mastodon because Lemmy floods mastodon feeds.

        If I cared about Bookwyrm, I’d have another account, same with PeerTube, etc. They feel different enough to the microblogs that I just prefer having accounts specific to them.
