I’m actually pretty interested in pixelfed, but for now I have three new social media I am trying to learn (kbin, lemmy, mastodon.)

I mostly have instagram as a means of communication with a few key people. It’s also kind of my anchor into “mainstream” social media.

I like microblogging but I prefer a text-first approach; I generally try to avoid using it other than as a messaging app. Lately I’ve been posting a lot on my side account (which is just pictures of my pet snails.) When I do scroll on my main I like my friends’ content (their selfies and art) and I follow a few of my favorite personalities as well (drag queens, local restaurants, Bake Off contestants, etc.)

I am on Instagram which quite frankly is more than enough for me, thank you.

You can check which instances Lemmy at least is federated with. I think kbin has the widest “net” (its layout lends itself pretty well to both Mastodon and Lemmy-style posts) but I also think defederation is a nuclear-style option that isn’t going to see a Ton of use. Tho there are people calling for greater control of individual federation, for example if a kbin user didn’t want to see Mastodon toots they could just toggle that.
