Pixelfed has more than 100,000 active users, about 5 times what it was 6 months ago, so I wouldn't really call it dead. And with the fediverse, pixelfed and mastodon can talk to each other, so even on less active platforms you can connect with millions of other people. Most of the accounts I follow on pixelfed are from mastodon.
Sorted them into a few categories
Social
-
Cheogram - xmpp chat, can also handle phone and sms gateways
-
Fedilab - my preferred fediverse app for mastodon
-
Jerboa - preferred lemmy app
-
K-9 Mail - email
-
Pixelix - pixelfed app. not sure if I like this or PixelDroid better yet
Media
-
AntennaPod - podcasts
-
Kiwix - offline copies of useful wikis, q&as, archives, etc.
-
Librera FD - books
-
NewPipe - watch youtube videos, although google keeps trying to break it
-
Voice - audiobooks
Security
-
Aegis - two factor authentication
-
KeePassDX - password management
-
WG Tunnel - VPN connection, still not sure if this is the best option
Notes and Documents
-
Orgzly Revised - note taking. for people not familiar with emacs something like logseq or safe notes might be better
-
Pinkt - bookmarks
-
Syncthing-Fork - synchronize files between devices
System
-
F-Droid - technically it can install itself
-
Lawnchair - alternative home screen / app launcher
-
ntfy - runs in the background, handles push notifications for some other apps
-
Unexpected Keyboard - has the fancy keys that most android keyboards leave out
Other Tools
-
Fennec - basically firefox
-
Organic Maps - sometimes missing info and it doesn't have traffic data. simpler than OsmAnd
-
PocketPaint - make art on your phone
-
QuickDict - offline multi-language dictionary
I've got hundreds more installed, but those are some of my favorites.
Matrix has spaces, which are collections of rooms.
There's also XMPP. It's not quite the same as discord, but it's another federated chat protocol.
It's not federated, but revolt.chat is probably the closest open source discord alternative.
