Applications, social media interfaces, instances, I’m not sure what the correct word is 😅.

Pretty much title!

    Here’s a list of 130: https://the-federation.info/#projects

    One I like not mentioned so far is bookwyrm, which is like a federated goodreads (track books you’re reading, review them, read other’s reviews).

    Edit: the flagship instance is https://bookwyrm.social

    I think it’s worth noting that Mastodon is by far the most mature. Everything else is buggy and may not always work the way you might expect but I think many are still worth using if you can put up with the quirks.

        Still not sure what this is supposed to do based on the site? It’s some kind of all-in-one fediverse thing? Doesn’t help that they reference a ton of federated services that I’ve never heard of in the website

          Ya that website is totally useless if you don’t already know what Pleroma is, it explains what the fediverse is like 4 times but never explains how the app integrates with it lol

          Implements ActivityPub, you can do Twitter-like messaging with it and define the maximum length of the text. The client API is the same as with Mastodon, so you can use any Mastodon app with it, or even run the Mastodon web frontend.

          It is written in Elixir instead of Ruby, so it is much faster and uses less resources than Mastodon. Supports quoting and emoji reactions like Misskey does. Super easy to install.

        Yes and no. Yes an app exists, but it’s not official, and the app is only a wrapper for the website. It may be better to “install” the website to your home screen using the option in your browser.

        If you want to check it out, it’s not on Google Play, but you can get it on F-Droid if you have it, otherwise you can install the APK directly by downloading it here.
