Wafrn: As of now it’s the Tumblr-style microblog platform that it’s closer in terms of content and energy to the original. Goblin has the pro that being a misskey fork has more app options, while wafrn only has only that for now it’s in close beta (although I access it through the phone browser no issues), but Goblin seems more serious in its content and interactions (or at least that was my perception)

I think misskey and it’s forkeys are it own thing in both terms of features and user base. Akkoma (can’t speak about plain pleroma) and Mastodon are similar, but Mastodon has , how to say it, this issue where they spend years shitting on features half the Fediverse have to then add it and pretend they’re doing something revolutionary. Also, I don’t know why but all the Mastodon servers I’ve been have had limitations or outright forbid image uploading, telling you to instead open a pixelfed account; I’ve never seen someone like that even in the crappies key/oma instance. That not even mentioning the toxicity (much of it inherited from twitter during the migrations) that exist in Mastodon.

Piefed like that you can join or abandon communities by topic on piefed and that it ask you if you want to see content with certain topics. Lemmy has the advantage that it has more app options, but it’s harder to filter content there and, at least on the server I was, half of the time the search gave no results. Tbh, I think we need a Lemmy fork because that’s the only way the community it’s ever getting all the user friendly changes it needs. The things that Lemmy lacks it lacks on purpose, there’s an active decision to not have them. Different from kbin, I actually like Lemmy, but I agree that PieFed has a lot of potential and as of now haven’t had any issues with it.

Currently I’m using wafrn and PieFed, but I’ve used misskey, Sharkey, goblin, akkoma (never tried pleroma), Mastodon (didn’t like it), Lemmy, Kbin (didn’t like it, so I haven’t even tried to joing a mbin instance), bookwyrm and Friendica. And I may be forgetting something, but those are the Fediverse software I’ve used the most

I wanna try hubzilla or one of its forks, but I’ve heard they’re a nightmare for mobile use.

Good to know that they’ll be training AI on its users only on their browser. What a relief /s

Thunderbird’s been isolated and isolated itself from wider Mozilla from sometime, so this doesn’t surprise me. It belongs to a different subsidiary and everyday it becomes more separated from other Mozilla products. It’s just there.
