Thinking of hosting one for myself and was wondering what the downsides of each are. Do they all interact fine with each other? Can I log into mastadon apps with misskey/pleroma accounts? Is it like lemmy where the app specifically needs to support mbin (interstellar) to use that account?
Which one requires the least resources? I’m on ios so I’ll likely gravitate towards whichever one works best with ios apps. I do see that sora sns seems to support all of them + bluesky.
It’s not recent. It’s been a common misspelling for years. You’re probably experiencing the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon.
Nope, I don’t usually even see the word Mastodon written 3-4 times in a week. My best guessing this is because Meta-exodus has created a buzz around the fediverse, so I’m seeing more references to Mastodon, and those users are more likely to be new to the service.
