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).

Just a side note, ActivityPub protocol - the core engine that lets all of fediverse to talk to the rest of the fediverse is… 5 years old. Every feature imaginable is still to be implemented.

its kinda like MQTT for humans rather than machines.

Like what?

MQTT, a protocol so machines can talk between each other. Mainly for IoT devices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQTT

Thanks, never heard of this before!

Thanks, that's good to know! I've been wondering where I can make recommendations for features to be added. Although I'm sure the devs are working themselves to death right now.

Some, but it’s open source and a lot of people have day jobs. I’ve wanted to contribute to some things that are annoying me, but after work, exercise, taking the dog out, and making dinner, I have like 2 hours of my time…. so it’s hard to rally.

So ditch the dog, ditch the job, and make it happen. No excuses!
