Looking for an entry to the Fediverse that's made for a single user. Preferably Reddit/Lemmy-like.

I'm hosting and running a Lemmy just for myself, and am having no problem with it. Lemmy is great. But I'm looking to branch out, and see what else exists out there.

Come check out beehaw.org it’s a lemmy instance.
@butter Most software in the Fediverse is not topic-centred like #Lemmy , but account-centred.
The best known alternative to Lemmy would probably be Kbin . According to #FediverseParty, there are Moontree, Lotide and brutalinks, which is by @mariusor
#Montree #Lotide #kbin
Mastodon is quite nice to host, even has a "single user instance" setting, also it has lots of users.
- And you can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon.
  
  In fact - I'm replying from Mastodon right now!
  
  The UX isn't as nice as Lemmy natively is, but I can see comments/posts and reply just like they were Mastodon Toots. If you reply to me, it shows up in Mastodon natively as well.
  
  If you click the little "Fediverse" icon in Lemmy, you'll even get taken to my home Mastodon instance. It's a very cool feature.
