Email, the Internet, Telephone, riding my bike, local shopping in small shops, Matrix, Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Nextcloud, Syncthing, Kde Connect
- I've never heard of platform called "local shopping in small shops", but despite having weird name, it might be worth checking out
- I've seen that nextcloud has federation, what do you use it for? Do people actively use that functionality?
  
  I dont have an own server yet, nor know any other nice private servers.
  
  I only know having shared folders among users of the same server. Federation would probably be that, controlled by permissions, for multiple servers.
  
  Haha wanna cry a bit here. My Uni loves Microsoft BS, they actually have a License for all of use for all products, as well as chain us to stupid DRM software.
  
  Now I asked them if they could offer OUR timetable not only as MS Exchange but plain old CalDAV, as Exchange is not supported by ANY FOSS software natively. Long story, end "use this weird app, it works trust me bro" and "no we wont support it".
  
  Yay, public services!
bittorrent! <3
- qBitorrent*
  
  I'm pretty sure BitTorrent is the protocol, and qBittorrent is a client which makes use of said protocol. The company responsible for the protocol does make their own client named BitTorrent though.
Not counting the smartass answers like some of the others (which are all 100% correct lol): The Fediverse platforms I use are:

kbin
Mastoson
BookWyrm
pixelfed
Peertube

The former 2 I use primarily, the latter 3 just on occasion. I do also have a couple of Lemmy accounts on other instances but no longer use them.
- Never talk to me or my Mastoson ever again.
  
  Fuck lmao, leaving it.
I'm suprised that nobody says e-mail

  That comment was created after mine
- most if not all of us forgot probably
Lemmy actively

Mastodon, Nextcoud, Pixelfed, Matrix I'm trying to use more and build a habit
Only Lemmy.
Lemmy and Mastadon.
Mastodon, Lemmy, Bookwrym.

Spending more time on Lemmy than Mastodon lately.
- Same! Not to knock Mastdon, but I feel like I don’t get it in the same way I never got Twitter. Does that make sense? Somehow, microblogging doesn’t click for me.
lemmy, nextcloud, mastodon and I'm not active on but have an account on pixelfed, matrix and peertube
Lemmy (ofc), Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, Matrix, XMPP, Nextcloud, Mumble and Tox. Some of these are self hosted on my own machine.
Nextcloud as cloud storage (but app it's slow). I also use Lemmy because it is more like reddit than other social networks. I don't like Mastodon because it has a lot of unusual features compared to traditional social networks.
only lemmy
Lemmy, Kbin, Matrix, Mastodon (rarely, but I do have an app installed for it.)

Edit: ending the parentheses.
Email, lemmy, misskey, BitTorrent, soulseek
lemmy, nextcloud, matrix, bittorrent, firefish^[mastodon alternative], IRC, email.

I'd like to use more.
