None ;)
I used to use Reddit. I now use Lemmy. That's it.
To be clear, I do own accounts on many other platforms, including Mastodon, as a way to keep those handles under my hand. I simply don't use them and see little reason to start using them.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

Same.
Although I like to recommend RSS. 'Social " media is overrated. If people are looking for content them just subscribe directly to the source.
RSS is really great, always has been. And many sites support RSS, not just for a main feed but also sub topic feeds.
I use NetNewsWire on iOS
Mastodon is my preference 😊 I really like my timeline
Mastodon, as I can filter any content with specific words, and tbh it's the best thing ever.
I'm following some hashtags and find that many posts with them are in languages I don't know. Is there a way to keep posts to the languages I do know?
Yes, Settings > Preferences > Other and there under Public Timelines you can filter which languages you wish to see.
A belated but appreciation filled thank you!
I suppose the fediverse in general.
Not counting Lemmy
The only other one I even use is Tumblr. And only when Lemmy is extra slow and boring. It's harder to actually just talk to people on Tumblr, the way "replies" work there. I use SM more for the social part. The memes and content are just bonuses.
BlueSky and Spoutible. I'm new to Lemmy, really enjoying it so far.
Mastodon with tag subscription is pretty awesome. On the advance web client you can even do multiple rows with different hashtag subscriptions so it's like a self aggregating Lemmy
Matrix
Well, the only other ones I really actually use besides Lemmy are Mastodon and my InsaneJournal account. Been totally slacking on that, though, so gonna give it to Mastodon.
I don't include things like Wattpad or yt because I spend most of my time not actually communicating with others on either platform.
Assuming "Lemmy" is including all Threadiverse software, Lemmy/mbin/piefed, then probably Reddit, which is the closest analog.
mbin (that is counting Lemmy btw)
Lemmy. Mastadon. YouTube.
