What Fediverse services do you use?

Ugh, the links aren't working as intended I think...
The first Pixelfed link works, but the first Mastodon link just redirects me to the Pixelfed one.
The second Mastodon link works, but the corresponding Pixelfed link prompts a signup...
I believe you, though!
Yeah its totally my setup sorry! I had some issues with openAI and amazon just slamming my servers so had to make it harder for them to get content.

You know, you make it sound like Piefed is pretty strictly better! If the pros for Lemmy boil down to a larger user-base...
Well, I'll definitely be checking it out! Thanks for the reply
Oh yeah filters! They are a thing. Works pretty well on piefed.

It's basically the same as Reddit karma, it's just the sum of upvotes+downvotes you got
If it doesn't even affect anything, I don't see why I would care lol
Same, idc, but some people care about it. Also piefed cares, I think it puts a red icon in the username of the users with negative reputation and their posts start with 0 upvotes instead of 1. (If I'm not mistaken)
Meh, I suppose!!! Thanks for the info~

Mostly Lemmy via discuss.online, with a little bit of Pixelfed via social.photo and Mastodon via utter.online.
I was using Loops pretty heavily for a while, but the most recent update made it not work right on my phone (and there's no web version), so maybe I'll try again when it's out of beta. It's also not truly federated atm, so only sort of counts.
I've tried out a bit of PieFed and it looks really nice. Probably the best Lemmy threadiverse alternative atm. The dev does some interesting experiments like Private Voting
loops needs to add selfhosting for vid quality options alone, everythings so blurry

Do all filters have that 3 level system? Blocking all, most, or none of a certain topic? Because that is a Feature, capital F Feature.
Also, do you know of an alternative front-end for Piefed? I use alexandrite.app for Lemmy, there's also phtn.app. Does Piefed have something like that?

How's Pixelfed's federation work? I thought it was an image-based thing, like Instagram, so how does that interop with, say, Lemmy?

Is that like TikTok? Or like Reels, I guess, since it's Pixelfed. A shame it doesn't work for you... I'm big on TikTok, might just give it a try, though I'm not sure I can find the content I want on such a niche platform.

Over Lemmy? Why do you say so? I see what they list as differences from Lemmy and some of the features seem pretty nice, but I'm skeptical of this reputation business. Feels a little like Reddit karma, I don't know.
Pixelfed/Mastodon/etc sort of work with Lemmy, in that they can see Lemmy posts. Lemmy can see posts from them if you tag them appropriately, which rarely happens. They only sort of federate properly. And yeah, Loops is like TikTok for the Fediverse.
I'm not saying PieFed is better than Lemmy, just saying that apart from Lemmy, your best option is probably PieFed atm.

It has front ends but it's inbuilt.

By now: Yeah, there are some nice creators on PeerTube. Overall, it feels a bit more like old YouTube, many more people just creating because they want to, instead of chasing fame, as well as bizarre and weird little videos here and there. One advantage of it: It has much better native embedding into Lemmy (at least on newer versions)!
Much like in other fedi-places, it's work to curate your own feed instead of having algorithms feed you. I have ADHD, so usually, I have some video or something running on my second screen while working on other stuff, and whenever my attention is spent, I switch to there and scour the recent or trending feed (or new vids from subscribers) for something interesting to share and watch.
For anyone interested - I am always happy to plug [email protected] - we recently hit 200 subscribers and have been steadily growing. If you are looking for an instance to join, I am still tinkering with it, but mine is open to new applications for as long as the server resources allow.
Hmmm, I see... I'm interested in getting into PeerTube and dropping YT, partially, at least, so that's good to know.
I see you talk about EU regulations in your instance. Is it hosted in the EU? If that's the case, I'd love to join it!

There's so many ways to interact with the Fediverse. The most popular, by far, seems to be Mastodon, but Lemmy, Misskey, and Pixelfed are also relatively popular. Kbin used to be popular, but it has apparently been abandoned, and is mostly dead at this point.
I recently learned that Mbin is a thing, checked it out, and it looked really cool! Has anyone used it? How different is it from Lemmy? I hear they have better integration with Mastodon.
What Fediverse services do you actually, regularly use?
For me, it's mostly Lemmy, though I do hop on Mastodon every now and then.

I am an instance administrator for three Friendica instances, Mastodon glitch-soc and Lemmy. I am also a moderator for three large Mastodon instances, Pixelfed and Flohmarkt...
Putting the software I use the most in the first place, I would say I use:
1) Mastodon, that is my historical account @informapirata (Mastodon is really immediate) and Friendica (the most complete experience even if less ergonomic)
2) Mastodon glitch-soc (immediate like Mastodon, but with formatting)
3) Lemmy (fast and with the best layout in the fediverse)
4) Peertube
6) Pixelfed, Mbin, Pleroma, Misskey, Piefed, Bonfire etc that I use mostly for testing
7) Flohmarkt that I started using only a few weeks ago -

Flohmarkt is an interesting concept, I've heard of it before, but I don't know much about.

Rebased
Mastodon
Akkoma
Soapbox
Lemmy
I also have Lotide accounts but I don't use them very much. I also have an emergency alt on Nostr which federates via Mostr but IDK if y'all are counting that as being part of the Fediverse.
Also Kbin was superceded by Mbin

Yes...
"E il naufragar m'è dolce in questo mare... 
" Flohmarkt is an interesting concept, I’ve heard of it before, but I don’t know much about.
at the moment it is very little: it is almost touching for how basic it is in its functions! it even lacks the RSS feed which is a constant for almost all the software of the Fediverse...
However I am convinced that it could have a very interesting development in the medium and long term

PieFed is more advanced than Lemmy in several ways, while less so in others.
Like for one it offers fantastic onboarding to the Fediverse via a wizard asking users what topics they are interested in and then signs them up to communities.
And for another, at any time users can view Categories of Communities, such as all things Fediverse, News & Politics, or Gaming, and now users can even create our own customized Feeds - all of this is in addition to rather than instead of the traditional Subscribed and All feeds.
Users can also follow anything - a user, community, post, single comment, etc. - plus stop following comments that you've written but no longer wish to receive notifications for.
It's REALLY cool! The major downsides revolve around it being newer and so a bit less polished, like there's now a post preview feature but that is not yet available for comment replies.
The codebase is written in Python, so is possible for more people to help out with making changes than Lemmy, written in Rust. Some people wonder if it might not scale as well to larger number of users, but so far that is not a problem and the speed of updates seems well worth that trade-off.

A port of Thunder has been made, ready for testing.
