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

This is awesome; I’m too tired to do it right now - but I’d I remember I’d really like to normalise this against country populations to see what percent of a nation is a Reddit user.

At a glance, I’m pretty sure Australia is punching well above its weight - if nothing else.

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.

Message one mod who seems active or all the mods at once if you lack patience. It's not rocket science.

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[...] With no recourse to do much of anything except complain.

This is false. Any comment that you made in the thread still exists in your profile.

It's very apparent that you are despairing and miserable. Have you considered that your negativity and that of people like you is more responsible for the failure of this platform to grow than any of the minor complaints you continuously harp on? You're either an absolute fool or a reddit shill to constantly be arguing that users on Lemmy have less rights than they do on reddit. That is complete and utter nonsense, users on reddit have ZERO rights. Z. E. R. O.

By all means, contribute on github or make some constructive suggestions for features, but to constantly harp on the lack of features for a platform with a small underpaid dev team is just extremely entitled and negative behavior, and helps absolutely no one. It creates a toxic climate on Lemmy for absolutely no reason.

Or go use all the great PieFed communities with their perfect moderators. Oh wait, they don't exist. The only way for me to understand your constant, pointless attacks and trivial complaints against the only viable alternative to reddit right now is to conclude that you are in fact a reddit shill. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense to me why you would be acting this way.

Lemmy isn't perfect. Constantly bitching about it while contributing nothing isn't making it any better.

I’m uploading shit daily. At least I’ll keep your feed busy.

Me.

Exactly!! YouTube is by far the best "social" platform (or least shit) and sadly the strongest monopoly. Cus what the fuck is a newly made competitor gonna do? Rip all YouTube videos and host them? People on IG and X etc don't really go around looking at old posts, those places are more for looking at what's new and such. On YouTube however its entirely game that u find a dope edutainment video from years ago that you happen to vibe with.

You just pick an instance and join it, sadly i don't think it has enough federation yet so its entirely possible u just chose a bad instance and have amazing creators sitting on other instances yours isn't federated with

Hell yeah! 2025 is the year of the ~~linux~~ Fediverse ~~desktop~~!

Just tried to sign up for over thirty minutes, this'll always be the biggest barrier. I have an account but can't seem to login.

It's actually the second or third thing I mention about Lemmy if it ever comes up in conversation. Sometimes I feel like just dropping it because of it.

It is simple and free of bloat. I like it much better than that youtube shorts analog I can't remember the name of.

Does peertube have monetization for creator's? Because that's how you get content that most people watch.

Or the vast majority of political spam from only one country. I’d like more of a worldview. Be interesting to see how others have other problems and how it might be solved with other solutions.

I seem to remember Germans were like 10-20% at one point, but that might have evened out over time

Would make sense with how they handled the migration from /r/ich_iel

Honestly youtube barely has it currently. The vast majority of creators make very little on the platform and rely largely on supporter donations, merch and sponsorships, which could work on any platform.

By squeezing creators out of every penny they can, youtube has forced people to find other options abd made themselves less and less relevant. I guess that's enshittification for you.

You can also gate access to certain videos on peertube, so a nebula-like model might also work eventually.

[email protected]

That is very true, and I think some kind of archive is going to be important eventually. I think to get around the hosting costs, one method could be for peertube instances to form a union of instances for collective purchases, because the cost goes down with scale.

With a large enough group you could even split hosting among different providers to prevent a monopoly from forming in the hosting space.

This is a link detection and not an image one. Two wildly different things. It also wouldn't handle images with slight differences like an edit here and there because again, doesn't handle images. Same goes for varying levels of compression. In fact it wouldn't even detect the exact same images with different sources or when reuploaded by users. Even if there were people who source images from the same place it would still be irrelevant without an overwheliming share of the users doing that to make the feature actually relevant. And EVEN if there was this high coordination then any trackers, shorteners, arguments, etc. varying the link to the same source they would be treated as a different links without recognising them as a duplicate like with youtube for example. So users would need to be a literal mindhive to coordinate on this level and at this point the tools would be pointless because the knowledge would be shared between everyone anyway.

Having this feature would help immensely both as a poster and as a mod to handle the images with high probablity of being as a repost. But at the same time I know it isn't feasible due to image processing requiring quite a bit of computing power so it will continue to be a dream.

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

Not sure when he sleeps
