Im right now using lemmy/piefed but what other neat projects should i look into as a newcomer to this world?
Im not looking for anything in particular, i just want to expand what i use and see more projects.

FediDB lists 67 software projects in the Fediverse. Just scroll through it and try whatever suits you.
My personal favorites:
And lately I scrolled a bit through Wafrn, it's a whole different vibe over there. I don't understand much, but that's what I love about it.

Can you explain PeerTube? From what I gather, people set up their own instances for their stuff and no instance allows sign ups. So I need to create my own instance in order to even get a feed and notified of new posts?
Bookwyrm is nice, but it only knows about 20% of my Goodreads book shelf.

PieFed can subscribe to peertube channels as if they were communities. https://piefed.social/f/peertube shows some of them.

There are a lot of instances that allow signups. Go to fediverse observer, filter by registration and country, order by active users and you'll get a decent list.
Or check one of these instances and request an account, just to name a few.

Check out the pinned posts at !peertube@lemmy.wtf for an instance to register on and channels to follow.

You can subscribe to a peertube channel with a Mastodon account if you want

I don't know if it's wrong and how much, but I've seen it likened to Imgur more than YouTube: a place from which you link your videos in other parts of the recovered, rather than a platform to browse videos fed by the algorithm. Sorry if I'm mistaken.

And Lemmy has about 1% of Reddits users but here we are.

So far, I've tried and enjoyed:
And there are still plenty more that I haven't really tried yet! The fediverse is pretty huge!
As for recommending specific sites, that's a bit harder since it's healthy that not everybody is on the same server. So I would just recommend picking a reasonably popular server with open registration.

A small correction about PeerTube. It is not “torrent-based”.

Alright, I've changed my description to "peer-to-peer".

mbin mentioned!
Also there's Sharkey, which is basically Misskey but in English.
Akkoma is like independent Misskey or something.
WriteFreely is a blogging platform.

i like NeoDB, it's handy for me to log movies/books/shows/music in one place

Lemmyverse.net is a very useful site to find communities that may not have federated to your instance yet (at least 1 user on your instance must be subscribed to it for it to begin federating). Especially useful for smaller instances.

You mean other federated sites? Mastodon, Friendica, PeerTube, to name a few.
