This graphic is almost two years old, is it still up to date?
not really. kbin is kinda dead. long live mbin
mbin is everything I wanted kbin (and lemmy) to be.
What does mbin have that Lemmy does not? Should I switch to mbin?
If you’re happy with Lemmy then don’t.
This is mostly a mix of personal preferences and neat little differences I enjoy, plus I like the local community.Then again, if you’re curious, check it.

What does mbin have that Lemmy does not?
IMHO much better integration with the rest of the Fediverse, it supports note type activity (posts without a title, thus supporting most of the Fediverse), it supports adding tags (#hashtags) to threads, it also supports boosting posts and a few more things like that
There will also be PeerTube support soon

If xmpp and matrix are included, why not include email?
Truly, email is (thankfully) mostly unspoiled as a protocol since it’s beginning. Other than minor improvements and additions like HTML and spam filters and the like, anyone can host an email service and interface with anyone else on the Internet with the same protocol.
anyone can host an email service
Eh, no. You could in the 2000s, nowadays spam protection is so tight, and necessarily that tight, that you need at least a full-time position actively managing the server or you’re getting blacklisted for some reason or the other. Other servers will simply not accept emails sent by you if you don’t look legit and professional.
Definitely possible for a company with IT department, as a small company you want to outsource it (emails being on your domain doesn’t mean you’re managing the server), as a hobbyist, well you might be really into it but generally also no. Send protonmail or posteo or whoever a buck or something a month.
And bluesky?
Unpopular opinion maybe but it is / will be a federated platform (whether we like it or not) and there even is a bridge to Mastodon, I think.
I think the graphic is too old to include bluesky (2022)
Home sweet home.
Still wondering how you can join Peertube.
Current Fediverse apps:
- Mastodon
- Lemmy
- WordPress
I mainly use WordPress for my art blog.
I think these apps rock.
I’ve been missing an alternative to Facebook that I can use for non-anonymous planning of events and communication in hobby groups etc. and I had never heard of any of the “Facebook-type” federated stuff before!
Now I just need to convince a bunch of people that this is viable to use without being the annoying guy…
Which of these are the Facebook ones?
Friendica, but it s still …uh…far from ideal. It is a start, though.
It literally started in 2010, almost six years before Mastodon.
If you’re looking for something that is to Facebook what Bluesky is to pre-Musk Twitter, it doesn’t exist.
Otherwise, “the Facebook ones” are:
- Friendica (intended to be a Facebook alternative from the very beginning, designed to federate with everything that moves)
- Hubzilla (fork of (a fork of?) Friendica by Friendica’s own creator, currently the most powerful piece of server software in the whole Fediverse, basically a federated Swiss army knife that can do Facebook as well)
- the nameless thing in the streams repository (not in this graph, fork of a fork of a fork of a fork… of Hubzilla by Friendica’s and Hubzilla’s creator, less feature-laden than Hubzilla, but more modern and evolving at a rapid pace, the most advanced piece of server software in the whole Fediverse, but instances are hard to find)
