  Technically there’s also Misskey/Sharkey, but that’s more of a Pinterest alternative, as well as Friendica for a Facebook alternative and Mastodon for a Twitter alternative.

  And GoToSocial is the nearest Fediverse alternative to the ‘old web,’ as it were, but you need to host that yourself.

    I’d personally say most of those are “microblog” styled interfaces, but I can’t actually provide a clear cut definitional difference between “photo blog” and “micro blog” other than a vibes based thing about including photos in EVERY post or not. But yeah, love all the options we have. I was just talking with someone about missing Web 1.0, I’ll have to check out GoToSocial and spin it up on my hardware.

      YT even has PeerTube as an alternative, and one I wish more people would use as Google inevitably locks down YT further.

        Yeah! I like PeerTube. I want to start posting there, but I’m struggling to find the time to edit together videos.

    Misskey/Sharkey being similar to Pinterest??? Has Pinterest changed that much in about 4 years, cause that’s when I last used it (ads ad AI art chased me off)

    Miss/Sharkey is more like Twitter but if it was pretty/customizable and with a pinch of overstimulation imo. The JP origins is what gives it the overstimulation (the reaction emotes, oh my god…)

    I don’t really think any popular Fedi platform is similar to Pinterest tbh.

      I thought Misskey/Sharkey was specifically trying to be a Pinterest alternative, while Pixelfed is trying to be an IG alternative.
