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.

    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?

      Yes - that Trump/Musk form is just a shortcut to setting up your own filter - the options on that form equate to ‘hide completely’, ‘make semi-transparent’ (so you can see the post, but it’s faded out), or “don’t set up a filter”

      Also, do you know of an alternative front-end for Piefed?

      There’s the one I made (the one linked to by OpenStars), but I think the more promising development is that the Interstellar dev has made some progress supporting PieFed too (Interstellar is already the only app that supports both MBIN and Lemmy, and I like the idea of one app for 3 different platforms).

        I love Thunder for Lemmy, so I’m definitely interested in what you’re doing.

        That being said, I think an app that could unite the threadiverse is really cool. Lemmy, Mbin, PieFed, all in one. That’s nice… I do have Interstellar installed, but I don’t really like it as of now.
