I remember a while ago I saw a TikTok but for fediverse and also an instagram. What other cool programs are there for the fediverse?

Bookwyrm! It's for discussing, reviewing and tracking books. It's still beta but I've been enjoying it for years now.

Yep super promising and necessary for anyone rightly not wanting to use amazon current problem is duplicates and lack of content.
tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden · 2 pts · 128d
Lack of content is always relative of course, I'd say there's some genres that are well represented where you can find reviews for most books. My timeline is everything but empty as well.
Duplication is a thing. It isn't super annoying for most users though. Find any copy of your book and start reading.

Use the same logic we do for the rest of the fediverse. You're not making "the world's bookstore" you're making a collection of books that can't be found elsewhere. I think it can be useful for people with particular literary or historical tastes

Bookwyrm has a list feature and there's already plenty list for like queer sci-fi, solarpunk and other "niche" genres. Not sure how fediverse-exclusive these are though.
mistermodal@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 127d
Sure but think of those as subsections within a small bookstore. You could make them curated lists of fiction subgenres, or explorations of specific historical periods or authors. I think the detail & specificity gives it an edge over just browsing Goodreads with https://libredirect.io/ or Internet Archive or Anna's etcetera
tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden · 1 pts · 127d
That's what happens already when people create lists for their own interests. Plenty nerds on bookwyrm curating books for their interests.
mistermodal@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 127d
Well maybe once there is a truly giant instance set up, but I think it would be better to curate considering the state of publishing lmao? 95% of new books = slop
KanadrAllegria@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 128d
I've been meaning to join bookwyrm, but can never decide what instance to join, so I keep putting it off.
tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden · 15 pts · 128d
You can move later and also export and import your reviews.
I run https://wyrms.de/, feel free to join.

Why this over hardcover?
tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden · 1 pts · 128d
Never heard of it, what's that?
wiki_me@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 126d
neodb has other stuff besides books (games , movies ,podcasts, music ) , also bookwyrm license isn't OSI approved which i don't like (not looking to start a holy war on this, form your own opinion).
Example instance.
tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden · 1 pts · 126d
Do you know if book info works between neodb and bookwyrm?
wiki_me@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 125d
Not really, i did play around with it and added a few reviews and saw nothing like it.

Funhole isn't exactly hidden but you might not see it if your instance isn't federated to it.
It's just always funny to see. Usually some topical and surrealist humor and the comment section is just all
THANK YOU FOR ENGAGING WITH THE CONTENT MMMM YES THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS CONTENT THIS IS VERY GOOD CONTENT THANK YOU FOR COMPLIMENTING MY CONTENT
no phones, just vibes and people being goobers in the moment

Holy shit, thank you, finally some explanation for that place. It pops up on my feed sometimes and almost never fails to utterly confuse me.
JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social · 5 pts · 128d
I'm always searching to expand my feed, so it usually goes from "hidden gem" to completely normal!
That said, I find that the "scaled" search option is excellent upon making such discoveries...
SaneMartigan@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 126d
I'd say the "scaled" post listing option is a hidden gem.
JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social · 2 pts · 126d
You bet your bippy it is!
And dang-bone-it, I miss good ol' Val Kilmer. (he used to post, sometimes)

For federated apps, I really like Lemmy itself for text discussions, and PeerTube for video. The cool thing about the fediverse is you actually own your content and can move instances without losing your audience. It’s like the opposite of the social media trap where you build an audience but don’t own any of it. I’m working on something similar called The Zeitgeist Experiment - mapping public opinion via email to cut through the algorithmic noise. Not federated, but same spirit of reclaiming thoughtful discourse from engagement-optimized platforms.

This isn’t what I asked. I don’t care for shitpost
dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 128d
oh, you mean what are some good federated apps? like peertube instead of youtube, etc.?
xcel@piefed.social · 1 pts · 128d
Yes
dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 128d
have you tried searching for your answer?
I found this post, for example: https://lemmyverse.link/feddit.uk/post/280651
xcel@piefed.social · 1 pts · 128d
Wow this is cool. Why is nextcloud there and where is masstadon. Do you recommend any?
dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 128d
For Mastodon: https://joinmastodon.org/
Nextcloud is included because it's part of the fediverse: https://nextcloud.com/blog/federation-a-foundational-concept-for-digital-sovereignty/
Mastodon is fairly popular and well supported if you like Twitter-like micro-blogging. Some Lemmy instances actually federate with Mastodon instances, so you can post to Lemmy communities from Mastodon, and vice versa.
I do have a peertube account I use to host videos sometimes, but otherwise I don't personally have any recommendations beyond thinking Mastodon is a relatively mature and popular platform.

I found a ring of places federated with each other, but not federated with Lemmy as a whole. I wanna say some of those as a joke answer but I think it’d be a bit grim of a joke for Lemmy as a whole—the stuff those communities discuss is stuff that you and I do NOT want to see.
