try Friendica. It connects to Diaspora pods, Mastodon, GNUsocial and<br>
even Pump.io<br>
<br>
I believe there are some people on this list who run a Friendica instance...<br>
<br>
There are some diagrams of how the different social media applications<br>
interoperate at <a href="https://sobac.com/wiki/Social_Media_Connectivity_Matrix" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sobac.com/wiki/Social_Media_Connectivity_Matrix</a><br>
Some diagrams are a bit old, so some apps no longer exist (Red,<br>
RedMatrix), and other apps have grown to encompass more protocols<br>
(Pump.io is rumoured to support both ActivityPump and ActivityPub).<br>
<br>
Also, since ActivityPub was standardized earlier this year there has<br>
been an explosion of other apps that interoperate, eg. Pixelfed<br>
