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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Different vibes. I am really liking the pixelfed UI.

I thought that my first couple of days, but TBH, I actually really like that Fedi social media is completely self-directed. Not having the Jack Dorseys, Donald Trumps, and Zuckerbergs of the world vomiting content or stupid ads onto my feed is well worth the modicum of extra effort.

I found half of the people I'm following just by posting a picture of my dog and tagging it #CuteAnimals, and that got a nice response. I do follow a few hashtags and found follows there, but I will probably take them off once I'm up to 30-40 follows and I like my feed.

Neat, is there a way to share from Immich to Pixelfed?

Any entry into the Fediverse is a good one!

Gateway drug!

Pixelfed allows video?

I just can't imagine who will pay for that sort of reach. It's incredibly expensive for self hosting operations like TikTok. I'd imagine it'd be outrageous without a CDN.

Different metrics on profitability. Are you judging their hosting costs on how much it actually costs Google to add more in their already existing data centers for YouTube like a good vertically integrated monopoly or are you judging their hosting costs on how much their google cloud bill would be. You'll get wildly different numbers depending on the method.

LMAO see I was being polite, and you said "no no no I was being very rude" as if that helps you. Oh god. And then you say "humble yourself" lol. Wow you need to look in the mirror.

[email protected]

I see what you mean, it's good to clarify. This was all according to my keikaku

Well I can see this is no longer going to be productive, assuming it ever was. Good luck out there dude. I don’t know what “out“ you thought I needed but I feel very comfortable with everything I have said so far.

Feel free to have the last word, I’m sure it’s very important to you.
