I'm curious to know which other parts of the #fediverse people are exploring besides Mastodon. Who is using #BookWyrm, #Lemmy, #pixelfed or others? I'd love to know more and get recommendations on how to approach.
I feel like I haven't fully embraced the full Fediverse yet.
@katherined I checked out Bookwyrn, but the instance I picked was so slow, and importing from Goodreads was error-prone.
I may try to use it again, but not import any of my old data.
I kinda prefer the idea of having all of these under a single identifier, but I don’t know anyone working on that.
@walkah @katherined Is this the new GoodReads? 👀
@katherined @walkah Finding it creepy because people can see all the awkward teen werewolf romance novels you're reading? 😅
@RobLoach @katherined @walkah
you spelled awesome wrong ;)
@katherined @RobLoach @walkah
What is Lemmy ? cause all i can think about is Lemmy Kilmeister & motorhead please please pleaaaase let there be some abscure service in the name of mr. Kilmeister ace of spades ... its the ace of spades
@mortendk Not sure it would work, sounds like overkill.
@katherined@social.librem.one for this account I'm using @dev@microblog.pub which is a single-user microblogging platform. It is very basic, but includes most fediverse features such as user / post lookup, following other users, viewing a stream of followed user posts, dms, etc etc. I also have secondary accounts on a couple of Mastodon instances where I boost posts made on my microblog.
@katherined enjoying my self-hosted pixelfed instance as a chilled instagram experience so to speak
@katherined I like and used in the past peertube, and it is quite cool because I can follow a peertube channel from mastodon as if was a regular user, because it is a regular user.
It's videos show in my mastodon feed like any other user I follow feed, and I can watch and reply to it, and my replies show up in the comment section of the video.
So no need to make a post on mastodon with the link to the video, You just publish and it is available on the fediverse like a post.
1/2
@katherined 2/2
For example this is the video channel for The Linux Experiment.

Just use the link in the search bar, on mastodon and you have the option to follow as a user.
@joao Thanks! I need to check this out a bit more.
@katherined another example that is castopd, the fedeverse version of a podcast service, you can also follow and comment from mastodon or others:
@katherined I actually tried Pixelfed first, before I knew what the #Fediverse is. Unfortunately, I can't get to my account since I wiped my phone last year and forgot to turn off 2FA. I might just start a new account on another instance since I only posted 2-3 photos on the original account.
@katherined I'm also interested in Bookwyrm. I currently use Story Graph, but I'd like to use #Fediverse services as much as possible and see how well they work.
@katherined I probably - obviously - when I read your examples and other in the thread am not even aware of all of the fediverse! I knew about Pixelfed, have looked at it and have a mental note to one day explore more and possibly also start to share on Pixelfed.
@katherined #BookWyrm is top of my list:
@ahynes1@books.theunseen.city
I'm interested in #ActivityPub and #wordpress
@aldon
I've set up an account on #PixelFed
@ahynes1@pixelfed.social
I'm in the process of setting up an account on #friendica
I'll explore others later
@katherined I use all of those and more alternatives daily - I did some videos on each option in a playlist at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdSTEdM8Pkf0LQS0RF_QsSPw9MoDr8hbD
