I like the federation for interacting with people in a way that’s similar to previous social media sites, but without the bloat and advertising.
It’s also nice to not have to deal with the extreme political rhetoric unless I specifically look for it, such as HexBear or .ML instances.
My mastodon is mostly queer/alternative folk and I share my music and exploits online diary style.
Lemmy is mostly how I used Reddit, but I’m less of a lurker here.
Maker tube (Peertube) is cool because I can watch, make, or share videos like YouTube used to be before the commercialization.
TanukiTunes (FunkWhale) is awesome because I can upload my own music or listen to music without having to fork over data, and I can donate/purchase music directly through the profile’s preferred method instead of Spotify hellscape.
I’ll eventually get a Pixelfed for my photography exploits. I occasionally use Mastodon to share cool pics I find.

All in all, Federation is my net home. Love it
