Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

One question, does LBRY (The protocol powering Odysee) count as something Federated ?

[paequ2@lemmy.today]

I was curious what the other apps were, found the list: https://fedidb.org/software

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

I dont understand how to join or post on peertube, its the most confusing, do you host your own, is there a feed of all the servers?

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

yeah I also want some clarity around how that works and if it's functional rnow.

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

it makes stuff super lowres rnow which isn't great for viewing, it definitely needs some quality of life features but it seems to have a good core

[tfowinder@lemmy.ml]

Looks really cool, just discovered something liket his existed.

[sudoer777@lemmy.ml]

Does Odysee even use LBRY anymore? They abandoned the desktop app a while ago and I'm not sure how else you can use the protocol

Does this help?

I've seen it, but seems abandoned, and not a fan of yet another community on LW

[blaze@feddit.org]

Would you have such stats for LW? Really curious as it feels more balanced here

[qualifiedkitten@lemmy.world]

Which server did you join? I've been following lots of hashtags (including cats), so my feed there is pretty active. Just hoping some IRL friends and family will join soon so I have those sort of accounts to follow and share with.

it's all fascists and cryptobros

Nowadays, other countries also have Internet and can speak English

The users can message the mods directly

The lack of modmail and notifications when content is removed is still an issue. Not authoritarian, that seems much, but a better moderation experience from both sides would make the platform better for everyone.

[openstars@piefed.social]

For the image issue, if it is a link then wouldn't Lemmy detect that already? Links to news articles and such at least work that way but I don't know about images.

[imaqtpie@midwest.social]

Nobody is arguing that and it's irrelevant to my comment. You're simply pointing out the fact that Lemmy moderation tools are not yet full featured, which is unsurprising given we are still in alpha. This is a completely different criticism than the criticism of authoritarianism which I was defending against.

Please stop responding to every single comment I make, if you wouldn't mind. I've had to reply to you like 50 times over the past week. I'll let you do your thing and you let me do mine.

[openstars@piefed.social]

How would the users message mods directly when the modlog just says "mod"? They could message each one directly, or mass spam all at once, but in general the tools are highly biased to protect mods rather than grant power to the content creators.

On Reddit - which I haven't used since practically the Rexodus so am definitely not shilling for it here - after a post is removed, people can still continue to discuss things in it. So if I typed a long reply to someone it would still make its way to them. Here, it's just poof gone, and a whole long response, possibly not even to OP but to someone else, I can't even send it anymore. All of those discussions that the OP spawned - they are all just gone. Nor can I look them up later if I have the URL - the entire post is gone, not simply removed from the community listing of posts but taken away from the community entirely, all of the work put in, by The People, removed from them by a possibly capricious mod. With no recourse to do much of anything except complain.

I already mentioned how the admins have more freedom yes, so I am talking here strictly below that level, the interactions between mods and content creators.

Remember the context of this thread is me responding to "People still wonder why Lemmy has a bad reputation even in the entire Fediverse..." So my purpose is not to whinge but to discuss practical solutions to improving that reputation. Putting the power back into the hands of The People rather than mods would go a LONG way. Like, even just sending a notification upon removal of a post or comment - there is much that Reddit does that if we did, would help. Or perhaps we can find even better solutions, but not if we don't even so much as try.

Also, even if you did become your own instance admin, that does next to nothing for you if you still want to interact with people on other instances - it allows you to create your own communities on your own instance, but if you want to make comments on OTHER communities on OTHER instances, then everything that I said above still holds true - you still don't get s notification

To me, the entire idea behind federation is that, like mastodon and Lemmy, you can see everything in the space, not just what is on your own server, especially by default or extremely upfront and clear way to make the behavior like that. That is the entire thing people are afraid of when they have to choose a server which leads to centralization or people simply leaving.

I mean I also don't get any of the hashtags I follow on my feed. Only the 5 accounts they forced me to follow by default.

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Don't even need that, I know a few that could be used
