NodeBB

@ikuturso @liaizon @Bike Definitely more mainstream than Mastodon but it's nowhere near the amount of users Threads has. The user base between each 3 feels very different too.

@Bike @liaizon I'm sure many do NOT want their accounts to be connected like this so they'll probably create a separate one anyway.

In terms of actual federation, AP is still miles better but I think Bsky handles it in a more user-friendly way. You can go from the primary instance+PDS and freely move your content without losing posts, making a new account, etc. basically, I think AP issues lie in the UX. Your average user will not understand the protocol or its shortcomings.

@Bike @liaizon Personally, I think a major factor in how ATProto/Bsky works "better" than ActivityPub is that your DID can be used across sites using the same protocol. You can login to "Popfeed" (like Goodreads, Backloggr, etc.) with your Bsky account and immediately see the content of people you're following.

With ActivityPub you can get Mastodon to operate with say Lemmy in a very janky way. Otherwise you're logging into multiple accounts. Better than the current web but worse than Bsky imo
