Disclaimer: Remembering having read https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI in the right moment doesn't make me an expert on this any more than the next person.

That said, I'd even consider whether I'd want to commit to "this is just pictures, never anything else". So maybe "artwork" or "media" or "creativity" or something of that sort?

I see.

Trying to learn a thing from this: Your argument assumes that the Fediverse isn't all that integrated yet, so (at this point in time) it still rather matters (to the end-user interface) whether one is talking to a peertube or a pixelfed server. Correct?

That'd establish a real conflict of interest, between what's needed now and what's desirable for a better future.

In another word: Tricky. Indeed.

What one should know when using WriteFreely in the Mastodon part of the Fediverse: They interact only partially.

If you try to answer a #WriteFreely post, your answer will be received by the WriteFreely instance and than dumped into the bitbucket. The author of the post will never see it. And you will never receive any notice your reply got nowhere.

At least that was the case last time we checked. I'd be happy to stand corrected.

I announce my new mastodon home by writing it across my twitter profile picture.

That German tweet says "bye, twitter, as my fdroid twitter app no longer works and I don't have nor want a Google play store account". For context on that, read the toot this one is an answer to.

"...some are very tightly integrated..." [with Fediverse] while "...others are sort of one-directional...".

Exactly.

At this point, I'm not discussing (with, e.g., @matt) the deficiencies (or choices?) of individual pieces of software. I'm looking for info on this for many such pieces.

For me, your already excellent list "What other kinds of servers are on the Fediverse?" would be even more useful with "level of integration" info.

This is a suggestion. Your list, of course.

A server I'm running on a cheap VPS has downtimes as the hoster apparently switches the VPS off with no prior warning (crashes it) every so many weeks. (That hoster is Contabo, who does not have too good a reputation hereabouts.) They don't boot it up automatically, I have to do that myself.

The "keep it up" monitoring app on my Android smartphone helped me reduce the downtime by maybe a factor 5 or so.
