Im right now using lemmy/piefed but what other neat projects should i look into as a newcomer to this world?

Im not looking for anything in particular, i just want to expand what i use and see more projects.

    So far, I’ve tried and enjoyed:

    • Mastodon, a twitter-like microblogging platform
    • Peertube, a peer-to-peer youtube-like video posting and streaming platform
    • Pixelfed, an instagram-like image sharing platform
    • Matrix, a federated IRC-style chatroom protocol (not really fediverse/activitypub, but still interesting)
    • Wafrn, a tumblr-like with support for Bluesky’s AT protocol too!
    • Misskey, a unqiue social platform with lots of features, very popular with the Japanese art crowd
    • Mbin, another reddit-like with lots of interesting features and a nice interface.

    And there are still plenty more that I haven’t really tried yet! The fediverse is pretty huge!

    As for recommending specific sites, that’s a bit harder since it’s healthy that not everybody is on the same server. So I would just recommend picking a reasonably popular server with open registration.

      mbin mentioned!

      Also there’s Sharkey, which is basically Misskey but in English.

      Akkoma is like independent Misskey or something.

      WriteFreely is a blogging platform.
