I’ve been on Lemmy and Mastodon for a little while but still not super active on either, and haven’t really kept up with fediverse stuff as a whole.

With that said, I’m interested, what are you using, how are you using it, and what are you using it on? Do you have a bunch of accounts per platform? Do you try use one account across everything as much as you can?

I’ll go first with something of a template that might make responding easier for people:

EDIT: Apologies for the formatting, it seems like some of the markdown stuff is broken/very different to any other markdown formatting I’ve used and this is the best I can do. Hope it’s legible enough.

Mastodon

  • Accounts: 2 — an anonymous one that I occasionally post from (on an NZ instance) and one under my real name that I basically just use to save my name as a handle (on mastodon.social, cos it seems like the one most likely to endure all things)

  • Apps: Ice Cubes, Mammoth — I have both accounts on both apps, I like each for different reasons. Ice Cubes is super customisable and open, Mammoth is pretty.

  • Uses: Following some podcast hosts, keeping up with local news.

Lemmy

  • Accounts: 1 — just this one I’m posting from.

  • Apps: Memmy and Mlem. I was a long-time Apollo user and have been seeking out a Lemmy app with that level of polish. Nothing really feels quite the same, but I’m sure with time one of them will get there.

  • Uses: Trying to replace Reddit as a discussion board for a bunch of topics I my real-world friends aren’t as interested in, and for keeping up with tech news.

Pixelfed

  • Accounts: 1 — under my real name.

  • Apps: 0 at the moment. I used the Pixelfed test flight app for a while, but it seemed to be hurting my battery life. When it gets a proper app store release, I’ll probably grab it again if nothing else comes along.

  • Uses: Trying to make it as much of an old-Instagram replacement as possible.

Now it’s your turn. What other platforms are you on, how are you using them, etc.

    lemmy: accounts: 9, each on different instance, but only 3 am logged in, apps: Boost, Jerboa

    mbin: accounts: 1, official, i barely do microblogging, i just want to follow users, lemmy dosn’t support it, so I use mbin for that, previosly used mastodon and firefish, but both are too similar to twitter, i hate twitter’s weird structure, also hashtags are most stupid thing ever, i feel like mbin/kbin is somehow better for reading posts and comments
