I wanted to try free tier, but amount of time spending to wait in line to play a game was too much.add in that it was laggy and you can’t just leave and come back. Now they will get free ad space for people who didn’t even try service yet due… Amount of wait time in line. But speaking as someone who is redirected to Russian servers by default (too small country to have local server of course). Wonder how free tier experience for others in “good” countries.

Think you should mention that self hosting is okay but you have to pay attention to plugins you use.
Everyone gives solid advice, so I will point you to trusty https://fedidb.org/software .
Mostly to see stats of Fediverse but also the soft that is available. Maybe you find one that suit you.
I saw many artists going to Misskey.io because it’s main instance even English speaking ones until they gone back to twitter, stayed on Misskey or half measures. Then because of EN influx in mainly Japanese server , Misskey.io closed doors to non-Japanese add in fact that Misskey or rather any federated service can’t oblige to European Union protection standard which means they can’t operate in EU officially.
So I see lots of messages on Misskey about artists making blue sky accounts as well… All depends where they get more views I guess or have people supporting them around.
Mention work OK
Thought bot will show up on Kbin but didn’t
There is some issues that some users aren’t showing up on kbin.social but wanted to test it anyway.

My go to recommendation for fediverse services.
There are a lot more than you think.
@muhyb
My go to advice on looking what services are on activityPub/Fediverse is https://fedidb.org/ .
Misskey is microblog compared to Lemmy or Kbin , but still it’s fun to use albeit more demanding on resources. While Kbin/Lemmy see karma as numbers, Mastodon (main branch) as likes, Misskey have emoji’s so you can convey your feelings without making short replies.
Sure some people will say that’s dumb or useless, but hey when you see some art and having only ❤️ instead of 🆒 or :cool__i: or :otoge_rank_aaa: and so on.
There is many other neat features but the main point of this comment is.
You can join in on conversation without restricting yourself to limitations imposed by soft/server one use.
Add on top that you can self host which is not for everyone but people having their whole identity tied to their own space instead of Twitter/Youtube/Twitch etc.
Which would be true if Misskey wouldn’t send error and deny me sending message, so we still far off in that point.
