It’s not if 99% of people around you use WhatsApp.

ActivityPub is not designed for real time chat and communication, I believe.

There’s Matrix and XMPP protocol, but upcoming MLS protocol (which backed Mozilla, The Matrix.org Foundation, even Meta) looks more complete, feature-wise.

Instead of yet another globally massive social media, I want to see regional social media that’s not massive globally, but popular in their country of origin. Or niche social media.

List so far:

• Post.news
• Koo (India)
• Cohost
• Hive
• Plurk (still relatively popular in Taiwan)
• Lofter (Chinese Tumblr)
• Xiaohongshu (Chinese version of Instagram and Pinterest on one app, probably Pixelfed can clone their unique UI)
• Lemon8
• Weibo

Art general:

• Cara
• Artstation
• Xfolio
• Pixiv
• Deviantart

Design:

• Dribbbble
• Behance

Hobby specific:

• Anilist
• Kitsu
• Annict (Japanese anime-tracker and social)
• ComicSpace (Japanese manga tracker)
• MyAnimeList
• MyFigureCollection
• MyDramaList

LibRate is WIP fediverse alternative for that.

It plans to supports film, books, games, and more. Basically one stop for every tracker.
