Is this like Tumblr or something?

I think Misskey and its forks are among the Fediverse services that are not modelled on a specific commercial platform, but have created something completely their own.

The forks differ in details (see comparison), but the user experience is relatively similar.

Von Deinem Lemmy-Account aus kannst Du keinen Einzel-Accounts (wie z.B. Mastodon) folgen, nur Gruppenaccounts (wie Lemmy-Communitys, nbin-Magazines oder auch Peertube-Kanäle) abonnieren.

Von Mastodon aus kannst Du Deinem Lemmy-Account folgen. Dafür https://feddit.org/u/DNDnews oder @[email protected] ins Suchfeld von Mastodon und dann folgen.

Communitys kannst Du auf die gleiche Weise abonnieren von Mastodon aus oder auch Lemmy-Beiträge dort liken oder teilen, indem Du deren URL ins Suchfeld kopierst.

Hubzilla (macroblogging service in the Fediverse) can also be used to create and collaborate on wikis.

I can only find a German-language manual for this right away: https://help.hubzilla.hu/benutzerhandbuch/wikis.html

Open Library is one of the main data sources for Bookwyrm’s book data. Bookwyrm is an application in Fediverse that can be used to find and write reviews of books. I wouldn’t see that as a contradiction.

I actually think that too. But unfortunately, Mastodon is the only project outside the Fediverse that has been reported on by high-reach media. As a result, universities and the scientific community are now very fixated on Mastodon, without knowing that there are more alternatives in the Fediverse that might have been more suitable for them.

After all, before choosing a server, the first crucial step is to choose the software/service that can be used to access the Fediverse. But even that was repeatedly presented as ‘too complicated’, so that almost everyone was directed to Mastodon.

The questions that were skipped during onboarding are then asked later by almost everyone and have to be answered individually for everyone.

“Also I’ve started a Friendica manual at https://help.friendica.onl/ but it needs to get content.”

Maybe you may translate some content from this guide: https://friendica-hilfe.gitbook.io/friendica-hilfe ?

Most of the functions should be instance-independent (although loma.ml has activated many add-ons)

The article in the JoinFediverseWiki is very short. It could be expanded a little. I used to have an editor account for the wiki, maybe I’ll find the time to reactivate it.

Thank you, yes, I didn’t read carefully enough. But there is hope for Hypatia!

If I understand correctly, Hypatia will continue with a new maintainer and is now in the Izzy repo

Everything is better ;-)

i.e. mailbox.org, posteo.de; there are also protonmail and tuta.com, but they don’t have IMAP

Sharkey is also for microblogging but it also has some extra features, including user sites that can be used as a kind of blog and it “can play module / tracker music files - can play Flash (swf) - (federated) listenbrainz integration, …”

I haven’t tried these functions yet

The mastodon apps work, but generally only offer the mastodon functions. Fedilab may offer a little more.

There is also Dhaaga: A "client for various social networking platforms and protocols.

🩵 Bluesky 💙 Mastodon 💚 Misskey 💛 Pleroma 🩷 Sharkey 🧡 Cherrypick 💜 Akkoma"

edit: sorry, forgot to read that you are looking for iOs

There is already a more up-to-date version of the second graphic (including mbin and loops):

Cryptpad Forms or Framaforms are good for simple surveys. For more complex surveys there is Limesurvey.

Yes, Lemmy accounts can only follow/subscribe to groups (besides Lemmy also mbin, piefed + also Peertube), but not individual accounts. A Lemmy account can only communicate with individual accounts if they write something in a community. That is one of the aims of mbin, to connect them: The structure of communities /magazines + a microblog feed.

Yes, Sharkey is a microblogging service and it can’t create headings, but it still displays them correctly. Among other things, this is better than with Mastodon.

Ok, with all pictures in replies it doesn’t work yet or only in the other direction: This Lemmy thread seen from Friendica + Mastodon

Friendica shows all pictures of Lemmy, both in posts and in replies. The other way round only in OP.

I once made a small guide to this here: 🚀 A little guide on how to communicate with Lemmy from Mastodon, Friendica, Hubzilla, Sharkey etc

This is the case with all content (posts + replies) on Mastodon, as it appears separately in the timeline. In this case, it has nothing to do with Lemmy.
