Mine was either mastodon or matrix. I got into both at the same time. What are some other fediverse sites for beginners?

PeerTube. I was getting really sick of Youtube, heard about it and went exploring.

By the way, Matrix, while it is a federated protocol, isn't part of the "Fediverse" (a word for federated software using the ActivityPub protocol [edit: and some others, see reply] , which are aimed towards social media rather than instant messaging)

@comfy
Fediverse is not only for ActivityPub. There are more. Diaspora, ostatus, zot at least.
