@_ade ah, no.

So my moc.d-x-b.com/ is running #Akkoma (akkoma.social/) and my friendica.hellquist.eu/ is running #Friendica (friendi.ca/), both hosted by me on my own servers. Then I also have a #Pixelfed account on pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/…

They all have different purposes and functionality. #Mastodon itself is just the most famous Fediverse service, and where most people land. Probably this is due to the fact that there is a company behind it, whereas the other services are run by collectives of individuals, with no pay or other incentives, other than the conviction they are doing a good thing. It is a shame they are not taking up more article/news space though, especially since Mastodon itself isn’t as good as some of the others when it comes to features.

The flipside of the features coin though is that some have added “opinionated” features of the underlying ActivityPub standard, which is cool for those users of that particular service, but it also fragments the overall Fediverse further. Having said that, Friendica for example is better than Mastodon at following, and being compatible with, other Fediverse services.
