Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

I'm a Fediverse newbie and trying to understand how things work. I just read this ( https://lemmy.ml/post/76524 ) post and it answered part of my doubts.

Now I'd like to ask you something:

  1. what platform are you using? (Mastodon? Friendica? Pixelfed?)
  2. which instance? And most important question: 3) why/how did you choose 1 and 2?

I begin. Since I'm learning about Fediverse I made an account for each service (including peertube, diaspora, funkwhale, etc.) but my main account is on Mastodon because I found easier to find interesting accounts to follow. I'm on mastodon.uno because I wanted to know more about the Italian "fedisphere", but most of the accounts I follow are in English. I want to learn how to find interesting contents in the Fediverse.

  1. Mastodon & Lemmy only. I occasionally but rarely check out PeerTube 2 & 3. For Mastodon, I picked a relatively unknown instance cuz I tried and didn't like the big ones. I based my choice from my initial perceptions of the admin, and it turned out to be a great choice. Most importantly for me is that it's stable and well-functioning. Only downside is that the instance only partially supports searching toots.
