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.

Primarily Lemmy and Mastodon to replace Reddit and Facebook respectively. Those are the only social media platforms I used extensively, really, anyway. And I'm hosting a Mobilizon instance to replace the lost event organizing of Facebook that moved to chat rooms on Signal for now.

...Mastodon to replace Facebook? Why not Friendica? Usually, Mastodon is framed more as a sort of Twitter.

I never used Twitter really because Facebook filled that need and more. I might eventually go to Friendica, or at least have considered it. Basically, at the time, I was looking for two kinds of communication/conversation. One topic based and one user based. The user based side has two parts, friends and content producers. Since i don't have many friends on the fediverse, that side isn't as easy to fulfill. Lemmy covers the topic based, and Mastodon covers the user based for content producers well. If I get more friends converted, I'd probably be more interested in Friendica.

Hmm, I see, makes sense. Whatever works for you!
