I know about mastodon and Lemmy, are there and other alternatives to bug sites in the fediverse?
There is a whole range of alternatives, several for microblogging (Misskey, Calckey, Pleroma, Akkoma, …), some for macroblogging (Friendica, Hubzilla) and some that specialise in certain functions (e.g. Pixelfed for pictures, Bookwyrm for books, etc.). Some short descriptions can be found here in the JoinFediverseWiki: https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_are_Fediverse_projects%3F
I didn’t realize Wordpress was part of the Fediverse! TIL.
There’s a ActivityPub-plugin for Wordpress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
Its kind of both, it has its own centralized website, but also self-hosted instances. They were popular with web designers before social media took over the internet because they were easy to set up and super customizable.
There are many other services like Friendica, Kbin or Peertube. Maybe the following graphic gives some insight
Thank you for the graphic. Aretheree and fediverse sites you van personally recommend. I wanna get into social media but also I don’t wanna sell my soul to Facebook or bytedance
It really comes down to what kind of social media you are looking for. Pleroma and Mastodon are people focused (i.e. you follow people, not topics), while Lemmy focuses on communities/topics. Kbin is somewhere in between, you can both create post on an individual timeline and in communities, but Kbin is still relatively new.
Personally, I like Lemmy most (though Kbin might become interesting in the future). The great thing about the fediverse is that you can post with your account anywhere (with some limitation between different services) so it does not matter if you are on lemmy.ml or feddit.de or beehaw.org.
Thank you. I’ll look intokbinh when I have time
Look here for list of platforms and their popularity
