like lemmy, diaspora, mastodon that stuff and with instances please.
I only use lemmy/mbin/piefed thing for now. I would call it a reddit replacement but its really to me a newsgroup replacment. I like being a member of the federation so far over the reddit star empire.
It’s yet to have multiple instances but loops.video seems to be a good short-form video content space
Lemmy dot world
Mastodon dot social
Pixelfed dot social
Or pick one that you like
I’m happy with Communick. They offer Lemmy, Mastodon, Matrix, and Funkwhale for one subscription. Its worth paying for, because the Fediverse isn’t free.
Whats your expirience woth funkwhale? I tried to get on it some time ago and i hit wall after wall after wall.
FUCKING PAID?! sorry but isn’t the fediverse supposed to be free?! it’s decentralized so anyone can just host their own instance for free. youre a bot. i know Steve, dont lie to me, tell me, are you a person that works at communick?
If you’re not paying for domain and hosting someone else is. If you are so sure that’s free, why don’t you self-host your own instance?
I don’t know anything at all about communick, just saying. Supporting a fediverse provider run by individuals who otherwise volunteer their time monetarily is a virtue not a sin, and plenty of open projects do this.
…where have you gotten the impression that it’s “supposed to” be free?
It’s not free. Servers cost money.
If you’re not paying, someone is being generous and paying for you.With respect to Communick, I doubt you’d get close to 100m subscribers either.
Not even 100 subscribers.
But I was referring to the Fediverse in general. It won’t ever scale to a real global default social network, on the donations and the kindness of strangers.If we don’t pay for it, then it’ll be paid for by adds.
Then we’re back to what we’re trying to get away from.
Communick or whatever, just pay. Even if it’s a donation.Sure, but if you make it mandatory to pay for anyone to use - it doesn’t grow. And if you’re right about the Fediverse, donations aren’t enough and it also dies.
People make lots of online buisness that grow just fine.
It’s just when people get used to a kind of thing being free, they feel like its impossible or stupid to pay for it. Even when those same people complain about how enshittification ruins everything, they refuse to directly pay instead.
Even self-hosted servers have a price, VPS also, so is not just about lurking for free to keep the fediverse alive. Everything has a price in this life you sound like a tankie.
