I know I've made the jump to Mastodon, and now lemmy. But what are the other sites that I'm missing out on?

In my opinion: IRC has to be on the list. But I am not your average Joe.

Matrix.org takes IRC a step further and is based on federation.

I used to spend a lot of time on IRC back in the day. The only thing stopping me from using now, is I can’t find a decent IRC client for iPad. The big problem was around multitasking. I would say switch over to my mail app to read a message that just came in, and when I would switch back to the IRC app I would find myself disconnected from the server.

I do remember reading about a web based IRC client that would solve that problem. I was going to set it up in my home server, then got busy and forgot its name.
