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.

I recently installed a Mastodon site as a pro-gun social network. I'll probably be adding Lemmy and Friendica as part of an ecosystem for people who are pro gun but also for people who might fall into the category of "progressive Republican" or "social libertarian" so that we can have an alternate social network that isn't filled with alt-right dipshits. Ruqqus is currently having a far-right struggle session because several of their equivalent of subreddits got banned.
