Also, there’s kbin, lemmy, squabbles.io (speed- and layout-wise my favorite) - each with several „federated“ instances. Which to chose? For many, the appeal of a social media platform is that you have ONE place where you can be sure to see/read and reach all others.
And instances are sometimes „unfederating“ or the federation is incomplete, you‘ll never know. Just look at this (on reddit, sorry) : https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/149sm0n/beehaw_defederating_from_lemmyworld_and/
If the admin of one instance decides to de-federate, you're suddenly cut off.
Is squabbles federated? I don’t feel like it is. But I do love it.
No. Squabbles is neither part of the fediverse nor is it open source. It's its own independent & proprietary platform. It's kbin, Lemmy, and to an extend Mastodon.
