I like Lemmy. Active development, lots of third party apps, active community, etc but what other Fediverse projects are worth getting into like this one?
For microblogging (Twitter), I know Mastodon is really popular but there are so many other microblogging options like Pleroma, Misskey, FireFish, etc that I don’t know which one is really worth getting into (as a user, dev, or admin). Are any of these on par with Lemmy?
For video, there’s PeerTube. The content isn’t great at all and most servers struggle to pay bills. I think the YouTube replacement is a looong way to go.
You’re absolutely right about PeerTube. However, given the recent decisions made by YouTube and its parent company on adblocking, I think we might see a surge in PeerTube content and development soon.
One thing I have noticed in the past year is that whenever Big Tech services become compromised or make controversial decisions, the Fediverse equivalent starts to bloom. I joined Mastodon and Lemmy earlier this year because of the controversies surrounding X and Reddit. Now that YouTube has done the same, I think we will soon see a “great migration” to PeerTube.
Just my two cents.
I never had that problem with adblocking. It still works for me (Windows, Ublock, Firefox). The content on PeerTube isn’t on par with YouTube and there isn’t a financial incentive for the entertaining creators to move to PeerTube
