Elk, the Mastodon web client, has an excellent development setup with good documentation and solid leadership. There's lots of little fediverse startups. I've submitted some pull requests to Postmarks, a federated bookmark manager. It's very early stages and fun to be part of that!

Bookwyrm for organizing your book library and making reading goals (just like in Goodreads).
Also, few weeks ago I switched to friendica from mastodon and it is really such a better experience. You have so many features and it's compatible with a lot of other fedi apps that it quickly became my hub for the biggest part of the fediverse.
Get in to the ones that fill a niche for you!
Like, it doesn't matter how good PeerTube is, I'm unlikely to use it, because I rarely consume "Youtube like" content and when I do, it's without an account or interaction, following external links.
But I use the threadiverse and microfediverse as my only social media outlets.
If I was a YouTube creator and would know anything about hosting then I'd get a $5 VPS and host my videos there by myself, this is one of the few ways you can be in controll.
