FediDB lists 67 software projects in the Fediverse. Just scroll through it and try whatever suits you.

My personal favorites:

  • PieFed (Threadiverse)
  • PeerTube (Videos)
  • Mastodon (Microblogging)
  • Bookwyrm (Books)

And lately I scrolled a bit through Wafrn, it's a whole different vibe over there. I don't understand much, but that's what I love about it.

    Can you explain PeerTube? From what I gather, people set up their own instances for their stuff and no instance allows sign ups. So I need to create my own instance in order to even get a feed and notified of new posts?

    Bookwyrm is nice, but it only knows about 20% of my Goodreads book shelf.

    I don't know if it's wrong and how much, but I've seen it likened to Imgur more than YouTube: a place from which you link your videos in other parts of the recovered, rather than a platform to browse videos fed by the algorithm. Sorry if I'm mistaken.
