  • If you take a look at the Wikipedia page about the Fediverse, you'll find that there are already a great number of Fediverse software platforms. You might already know some of them like Diaspora, [Mastodon]https://joinmastodon.org/), NextCloud and Peertube. The software powering these platforms are free and open source, so without too much of a hassle and if you have a server at hand, you can become a social media owner, if you so desire.

  • Friendica

    Friendica Communications Platform

  • As an example I visited Friendica and Mastodon, which both have nice listings of public instances (there's also FOSStodon for FOSS - Free and/or Open Source topics). The problem is, you have no idea about what's going on inside an instance, apart from the description.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
