Alt Text: A screenshot of the tab bar and address bar of Firefox where twelve different fediverse websites are pinned. There is a new DuckDuckGo search being made in the address bar saying, “I think I might have a problem.”
The 12 services are Mastodon, Glitch Edition, Misskey, IceShrimp, Akkoma, Friendica, Lemmy, Kbin, PieFed, Pixelfed, BookWyrm, and PeerTube.

Yes, I do have an account on each of these sites (this is my Kbin account).
And now I’m replying to this from my PieFed account. Me, myself, and I.
I’m posting this screenshot on all of my accounts, and this was the least idiotic way I could think to do it for the threadiverse. Feel free to ask me anything about my experience as compensation.
Please name all the sites in their order. Three or more look new to me.
Sure, in order from left to right:
Thanks a lot, I will check the new ones out.
Check out https://kbin.melroy.org as well, it’s a forked version of kbin
Lol no
it is without obligation ;)
No Mbin?
No need.
What’s the point? Aren’t most of them connected anyway? If not then the fragmentation is a real problem. I mean, who has the time or energy to click through dozens of websites which all serve the same or similar purpose?
Oh, I actually made all of these accounts just to come to terms with the granular differences (and interactions) between each platform. The main reason I have all these accounts is to run little experiments to see how all the functionality works and to try underutilized features that I wouldn’t normally touch on my main fediverse account.
My hope is that I can come to a more informed decision about which platform I should use long-term for my main account. Migrating just to try out something new can be challenging, after all. I also want to determine whether I should bother having more than one fediverse account.
Would there be any way you could share your observations/opinions when you feel like you’ve gotten to that point? I’d like to hear comparison notes and stuff like that.
I am considering writing a blog post on WriteFreely or something to wrap things up later. Comparing the features and flow for certain tasks could be interesting. I assume most people on the fediverse haven’t tried more than a couple platforms (I had only signed up for 3 despite using the fediverse since 2015).
I just have to decide how far I really wanna go with this, since there’s a spectrum between general impressions and a deep dive into every meaningful feature. If I do that, I’ll be tempted to report any bugs I find. 😅 So I guess we’ll see what happens.
