I like Lemmy. Active development, lots of third party apps, active community, etc but what other Fediverse projects are worth getting into like this one?

For microblogging (Twitter), I know Mastodon is really popular but there are so many other microblogging options like Pleroma, Misskey, FireFish, etc that I don't know which one is really worth getting into (as a user, dev, or admin). Are any of these on par with Lemmy?

For video, there's PeerTube. The content isn't great at all and most servers struggle to pay bills. I think the YouTube replacement is a looong way to go.

I've been enjoying Firefish for my Mastodon content. I like the extra features and interface better than stock Mastodon.

Though, unless I just can't find it, there doesn't appear to be any way to follow a hashtag on Firefish, which is a bit of a bummer. The antenna feature is alright at filling in this gap, but it's not perfect.

Firefish works mostly okay with third-party apps, but none of them seem to be able to do some of the more advanced features like the live, auto-refreshing feeds, which is a feature I rather enjoy. So I've been pretty content with just using the PWA on my phone for the time being. The mobile interface is solid enough that I don't feel a strong need for a dedicated app just quite yet. Notifications can be delayed by a few minutes, but I can tolerate that.

To be fair, most people don't seem to tag their content anyway, so I guess antennas are just as effective
