What is your favorite Fediverse platform? - Autism Place

I’ll go first… My favorite Fediverse platforms as of 2024 1. Mastodon - my main social feed platform that first introduced me to the Fediverse in general. 2. Lemmy - my second main social feed platform that originally substituted Reddit from years ago. 3. Matrix protocol - communication platform I use to connect with users on the Lemmy instance I’m on 4. Peertube - would love to get an account going and use it more often but still don’t know how but there’s FediVideo. 5. Bookwyrm - Goodreads alternative that I signed up for that could use more work for a genuine reading tracker. BONUS: my least favorite Fediverse platform lately WordPress - because I used to run art blogs on there before I heard word about drama about the CEO of the corporation so I basically had to put out my last existing art blog…RIP.

Mastodon has successfully replaced Twitter for me, so it's by far my favorite. It does still need better tools for dealing with large-scale posts and users, but overall it feels like it's actually doing the job I want done.

I want to like Piefed/Lemmy more than I actually do. The Fediverse answer to Reddit just doesn't feel ready for prime time yet. It's hard to find/connect with communities and the user base doesn't have that "can address basically any question" magic.

I’ve tried mastodon and followed a couple people. But I never did Twitter either. Could you recommend how I could best use mastodon? Who to follow, or for to sort/search out whatever what’s popular? I couldn’t figure it out
