I had no idea of the size and variety of the Fediverse! It has me feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’m enjoying BookWyrm very much; it’s the GoodReads/LibraryThing replacement I’ve been looking for for years.
I love the simplicity of Paper.wf for blogging. It’s truly elegant; I just click the link and start typing. But as far as I can tell there’s no way for others to find my blog or for me to find other blogs on the site. There’s no browse or follow feature. Nor can anyone comment on my posts! Those seem to me to be HUGE omissions.
Have you used any Fediverse blogging options? What are they like? And what other Fediverse services would you recommend? Other than Mastodon, I’ve already tried that (it didn’t excite me).
With Lemmy I’m not actually sure. I would imagine that you would be correct. But knowledge is ephemeral and needs to be kept some other way. I think that’s a better choice than some platform that’s shutting down and selling all their data to someone else. Deleting something on Reddit or Twitter or FB doesn’t actually delete it. It’s still in the servers, it’s just not publicly accessible anymore. I’m a massive cynic though, which is why I’ve been on the Fedi for a few years already. :-D
