If you're on Android, try Tusky. It supports multiple accounts but focuses on Mastodon and compatible platforms.
It doesn't handle Pixelfed very well (although that can be down to Pixelfed's ongoing development), and may not support all of Friendica's features, but you can definitely sign in from Tusky.
They're both android, but without the Google services tacked on. The question is, how will the Android Open Source project fare if Google is forced to divest from it? And where does that leave the ungoogled ROMs?
With servers in Europe, maybe. I've seen K&T pop up in search results, but they're in Florida... But the more to choose from in the Eurozone the better, right?
Edit: There's also FediMonster with servers in Germany.
One question, I know Mastodon has become a sort of market standard for the microblogging fediverse — but for people who just want a single-user/"vanity" instance, wouldn't it make sense to offer something leaner like GoToSocial?
Because GTS is less resource intensive than Mastodon, that could then also be an environmental argument?
Advertisers can stake their PRE [crypto tokens] to a keyword, and whichever advertiser stakes the most tokens will have its ads displayed when a user searches on the term selected. Advertisers confer the most external value on PRE, so their success is very important to the ecosystem.
The intent sounds fine, but as @deadsuperhero@lemmy.world points out, it offloads the actual responsibility of filtering on MusicBrainz and WikiData.
It's not hard to imagine MusicBrainz being flooded by users trying to circumvent bans by editing tags. Or incorrectly tagging bands they don't like or agree with to get them banned.
Funkwhale probably isn't big enough in itself to make a huge splash, but this proposed ban does add another target to the extreme right's hit list. It seems a little iffy to me to make an open project like MusicBrainz that target?
I've been following this scene for many years, back when diaspora and friendica had a reasonable shot at promoting their own protocols rather than (what would become) ActivityPub — XMPP was still on the table as a possible avenue, as well.
There were lots of projects and developers pulling towards a general, shared goal — decentralisation — but with different code bases (ah, and did they want a distributed network or a federated one? Semantics like that ate almost as much time as agreeing on shared protocols). It was by no means a given that StatusNet would evolve via PumpIO into ActivityPub.
All I'm saying is, yes, ActivityPub is definitely the de facto protocol by now, but rather than look at this from a technology POV, I think it is worth taking a broader perspective of utility.
The Fediverse is, by that definition, a network of federated and interoperable server instances. As is pointed out, Matrix and XMPP are federated protocols, just not federating with the larger AP network. Heck, even Signal used to federate before Whisper closed its server off.
Federated chat is pretty much e2e-encrypted by default — I don't know that that has been successfully implemented in AP yet. In that regard, the fediverse is more fragmented than it needs to be.
Defining the fediverse around ActivityPub rather than the broader goal of federation and interoperability, we may lose sight of projects that are developed outside of the W3C, and might be the future of the fediverse.
All of tumblr is being moved to Wordpress software, and Automatic confirmed last month that it will also include federating posts.
