Home sweet home.
Still wondering how you can join Peertube.
Current Fediverse apps:
- Mastodon
- Lemmy
- WordPress
I mainly use WordPress for my art blog.
I think these apps rock.

Still no tumblr alt huh?
Wafrn is in early stages but looks promising
Priviblur as a Tumblr front end isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s worth knowing about
I've been missing an alternative to Facebook that I can use for non-anonymous planning of events and communication in hobby groups etc. and I had never heard of any of the "Facebook-type" federated stuff before!
Now I just need to convince a bunch of people that this is viable to use without being the annoying guy...
Which of these are the Facebook ones?
Friendica, but it s still ..uh...far from ideal. It is a start, though.
It literally started in 2010, almost six years before Mastodon.
If you're looking for something that is to Facebook what Bluesky is to pre-Musk Twitter, it doesn't exist.
Otherwise, "the Facebook ones" are:
- Friendica (intended to be a Facebook alternative from the very beginning, designed to federate with everything that moves)
- Hubzilla (fork of (a fork of?) Friendica by Friendica's own creator, currently the most powerful piece of server software in the whole Fediverse, basically a federated Swiss army knife that can do Facebook as well)
- the nameless thing in the streams repository (not in this graph, fork of a fork of a fork of a fork... of Hubzilla by Friendica's and Hubzilla's creator, less feature-laden than Hubzilla, but more modern and evolving at a rapid pace, the most advanced piece of server software in the whole Fediverse, but instances are hard to find)
Keeping an eye out for the matrix commune-os project to get to ActivityPub support. Them and Forgejo and Gitlab work to add AP support!
Lot of love for GitLab, it's a solid enterprise product.
I know Threads sucks, but where would it fall on this? Another Networking one?
It is the aggressive megacolony of fungus embedding its mycelia in the base of the tree
It would be an enemy aircraft hovering above the trees with a flamethrower, threatening to burn them down
Ohh so THAT'S what all those "I identify as an attack helicopter" people were talking about!
Yes as it is almost the same category as mastodon
I wish there was one for jobs :(
Wouldn't get used by corps probably?
BookWyrm was my first dip into the Fediverse, back when I was looking for an alternative to Goodreads.
Really surprised it's the only book related fork of the fediverse here
Do people not read any more?
I don't think this is the exact cause for the situation, but having more book related forks would probably just do harm by splitting up the audience. The book reading trackers are absolutely dominated by Goodreads, and any alternative desperately needs as much user concentration as possible.
Most people I know who read a lot use StoryGraph, and mostly for personal tracking, not as a social app.
I don't think you can correlate the number of readers to the number of book instances or whatever they're called. Most people (myself included) probably just use Goodreads, and BookWyrm is probably a good enough alternative that there's no need to spin up another.
Edit: according to this there's a lot of instances: https://joinbookwyrm.com/instances/
If we're including xmpp and matrix, then we should include Email 🤭
Decentralized email? I feel like I could get behind that
Email in itself is decentralised. You can set up your own email server and send and receive from it. However, your emails will be often flagged as spam unless you perform some form of black magic and allegedly, you are more vulnerable to spam (although I have been running my own email for months now that's on the open web and hasn't been spammed). Some hosts like Hetzner and various ISPs don't allow you to open the ports needed for email, at least without giving them a ring and explaining why you need it.
I understand what you mean, having had to deal with SPF nonsense for a job back in the day. The SPF nonsense is what prevents selfhosting email, as you effectively point out yourself. If there were somehow a way to use federation to tackle that, it seems like it could be kinda cool.
I want a MySpace clone. Does that exist as an open source project in the fediverse?
Not fediverse, but a personal website on Neocities is customizable
Call it OurSpace
Love it! Now we just need a guy named Tom, and a super potato quality camera for Toms profile pic.
We're all Tom on OurSpace.
TomSpace.
Nostr must be a bigger tree
Old graphic is all Is Nostr bigger than the fediverse?
Wow, that's more than I thought!
