@TechGuru_007 Honestly, since Invidious is an unauthenticated webapp that stores very little, and I'm guessing piped is too, which instance you pick matters a lot less. Just pick a reasonably fast and up-to-date one.
The Invidious website has an auto-picker, but it seems to be down right now, so I'll just link invidious.garudalinux.org/feed… since it seems reasonably fast from where I am.
@OptimusPrime It's likely that this news article is using a different data source (e.g. instances.social) but you can go to [software].fediverse.observer/stats to see the data that @fediverseobserver has collected about this (their numbers are usually lower than the popular data from instances.social due to excluding dead instances, but they include Diaspora). For example, lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats shows 1422 monthly active users for Lemmy.
@LemmyPistolero Expect a learning curve either way - Fedora isn't the easiest distro out there - but you'll likely find Fedora Workstation easier to use than Silverblue. Silverblue is experimental, and will make it impossible to follow some online guides, and possibly limit the software available to you.
@OptimusPrime kind.social for Mastodon, though I keep thinking of moving everything to Friendica here on libranet.de.
I also have a PeerTube account on tube.tchncs.de.
@nutomic Looks similar to my thread about the history of the fediverse, but more well-sourced and acting as a more comprehensive list of platforms. Neat!
Though, was that first use of "fediverse" about the federated social web?
@kromonos @shreddy_scientist Debian usually sticks to the default themes provided by desktop environments. The Debian theme is just the backgrounds for the desktop, GRUB, and login screen, plus a boot animation, and banners for the installer and Debian websites.
@rom @serenity eh, it's not blazing fast but it's quite usable and definitely beats Misskey/Calckey in that department
