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.
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.
I see. Thanks for explaining. So which do you like the most so far?
I think IceShrimp is actually really good and a bit more polished than Misskey in certain ways. Akkoma's nice since it's so minimalist, and Friendica is surprisingly featureful (it even federates with Diaspora). But yeah, so far IceShrimp feels the most satisfying to use.
