I think I might have a problem
Alt Text: A screenshot of the tab bar and address bar of Firefox where twelve different fediverse websites are pinned. There is a new DuckDuckGo search being made in the address bar saying, "I think I might have a problem."
The 12 services are Mastodon, Glitch Edition, Misskey, IceShrimp, Akkoma, Friendica, Lemmy, Kbin, PieFed, Pixelfed, BookWyrm, and PeerTube.
Yes, I do have an account on each of these sites (this is my Kbin account).
And now I'm replying to this from my PieFed account. Me, myself, and I.
I'm posting this screenshot on all of my accounts, and this was the least idiotic way I could think to do it for the threadiverse. Feel free to ask me anything about my experience as compensation.
compared to most social media people, you probably have more of a solution.
scrolled through my friends insta feed the other day and its like two ads for every post. real shit by other people is a rare sight.
Absolutely, I think the last time I had this much fun on social media was back when forums and GeoCities were the norm.
Please name all the sites in their order. Three or more look new to me.
Sure, in order from left to right:
No Mbin?
No need.
Why is that?
Today I found out that Kbin has an actually usable Interface, unlike Lemmy.
Yes!!! Now if we could just get a Kbin app, that'd be great.
Interstellar for Android, but then your instance is kbin.earth.
kbin.social has not opened yet its API.
Or simply use a website as PWA.
Alexandrite for desktop, and eternity for Android. This pretty much fixed Lemmy for me, just wanted to throw that out there in case anyone still didn't know about them.
What’s the point? Aren’t most of them connected anyway? If not then the fragmentation is a real problem. I mean, who has the time or energy to click through dozens of websites which all serve the same or similar purpose?
Oh, I actually made all of these accounts just to come to terms with the granular differences (and interactions) between each platform. The main reason I have all these accounts is to run little experiments to see how all the functionality works and to try underutilized features that I wouldn't normally touch on my main fediverse account.
My hope is that I can come to a more informed decision about which platform I should use long-term for my main account. Migrating just to try out something new can be challenging, after all. I also want to determine whether I should bother having more than one fediverse account.
It's great to see that you're a user of so many services of the Fediverse!
I really liked the glitched version of Mastodon of myself, particularly the high privacy icons.
Yeah, it really just feels like a refined version of Mastodon in many ways. If Mastodon suits your style, Glitch Edition may well be the best choice for microblogging.
