yeah, I tested most of the software, and still use Mastodon and Wafrn. I use mastodon to follow a hashtag, but it didn’t deliver what it promised. Few major tech youtubers bounced back from it due extreme toxicity.

Wafrn is super wacky software. You can play doom and bite people. It has rage-bait driven development* and connects to bluesky and fediverse at the same time without a bridge.

Bookwyrm and Piefed didn’t deliver what I would want from their respective domains.

*allegedly

IDK what are you about. I have made couple of game jams with it and it was fine engine.

Godot. You could try to see if Godot 3 will work better than Godot 4.

Godot 3 is a bit older but still is getting fixes and some new features. (long term support driven by community)

+1 on Godot as it provides builds for your CPU (you will have headaches with that)

Other option is pico-8 or some JavaScript library to run in a browser.
