I’m a Fediverse newbie and trying to understand how things work. I just read this ( https://lemmy.ml/post/76524 ) post and it answered part of my doubts.

Now I’d like to ask you something:

  1. what platform are you using? (Mastodon? Friendica? Pixelfed?)
  2. which instance? And most important question: 3) why/how did you choose 1 and 2?

I begin. Since I’m learning about Fediverse I made an account for each service (including peertube, diaspora, funkwhale, etc.) but my main account is on Mastodon because I found easier to find interesting accounts to follow. I’m on mastodon.uno because I wanted to know more about the Italian “fedisphere”, but most of the accounts I follow are in English. I want to learn how to find interesting contents in the Fediverse.

    Mastodon, Misskey, Peertube, Pixelfed, Plume, well Lemmy… i also used diaspora but that’s a different thing.

    which instance? And most important question: 3) why/how did you choose 1 and 2?

    In one way or another, you soon will learn that diversity is key in this enviroment, and experimentation is required, now i am mainly on floss.social but i’ve been in many different instances since 2017, trying to look for the right place.

    My first instance was an 100% free speech one, and moderation was for the most part nonexistent, very isolated to begin with, and the content was… well, what you’d expect, so i migrated.

    Used two more instances for a long time but i have accounts in many others, and i finally settled down in floss.social. I follow for the most part developers, cause i’m interested in what they do, mostly GNOME devs.
