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

[hanrahan@slrpnk.net]

Yes and the same developer does Loops, the TikTok "equivalent"

Not sure when he sleeps

[suoko@feddit.it]

Yes , I was joking

Search with the magnifying glass icon. In Discover maybe you can find something.

People share photos and videos all the time on mastodon. What is the difference with pixelfed?

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

Is there federated Tumblr? @[email protected] is still on Tumblr and drag wants to get thing away from corporate media even if Tumblr has a better record than literally every other corpo media

[mysticketchup@lemmy.world]

Better UI and a better discover page mainly. Plus it's gotten a lot of organic advertising just from luck and people talking about it, and no obvious competitor like Bluesky

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

If you f up and join lemmy.dbzero you wont see any posts from lemmyworld users and the same issue if you join the other

[bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml]

Sorry, genuinely forgot what tumblr even does/is lol.

[bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml]

I'm genuinely confused. Is YouTube even profitable ATP? Hard to imagine it not being so but they've been doubling down on squeezing out every coin they can, trying to fight adblock is one example, pushing out more ads too. Wtf even is going on over there.

[dragonfucker@lemmy.nz]

lmao. Bot got drag to make an account and tried to teach drag, and drag still doesn't get it either. Bot can explain.

[lifeinmultiplechoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Yeah but pixelfed is coming out with loops, it's been on beta for awhile, that is basically Tik Tok with no ads or government/big tech ownership. I personally feel like that could have taken a giant chunk of the Tik Tok users and kept them from having to learn to read ideograms to access content they wanted. I don't personally use that format of social media but I tried it on Android and it looks just like Tik Tok looked that I have seen on others devices.

Thinly veiled? I was very blunt my friend. The pattern is honesty and advice. Take it or leave it.

[accountmaker@slrpnk.net]

Same, just created an account on metapixl.com even though I never used Instagram before

[southendsunset@lemm.ee]

I think a lot of people talk like Yanks, or just don’t clarify. I’ve had conversations with other Brits where we both assume the other is a Yank.

[southendsunset@lemm.ee]

I’m on Gram.social but don’t have that experience. Interesting.

[weker01@sh.itjust.works]

Sie haben gerufen?

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Happens to me a lot too, when actually none of us are from the USA

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

There was a github request to integrate lbry into fedi, but it never gained any traction.

So, no, they're not in the fediverse and don't interconnect with the other players.

Here are the current places that play well together.

Odysee had a shot at making it bigger than it was, but it's really drowning in bad (moral and qualty) content. They never really recovered from their crypto scheme, once the SEC started looking into them, they got screwed. I'm down with the idea of paying creators in crypto, but they were selling it as a security.

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

Microblogging is covered by Mastodon and Pleroma. People there could easily use them for the same content. There are a ton of options to crosspost tumblr to Mastodon.

The biggest problem is discovery on Tumblr is a LOT easier than Mastodon, you have to advertise and advocate for yourself

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

Everything on Fedi is just different interfaces and perf from the user perspective.

People want to continue to use something close to Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter but not be locked to their enshitified companies who decide what they get to see.

Many that come over find out there's no algorithm and that they have to follow people to get any content, they find they miss the doom scroll and go straight back.
