I know Voyager does.

Thanks mate! I haven't quite figured out how to use PeerTube yet, but I was able to join Freediverse now.
-
no problem
enjoy it, youll have access to most content with that instance! -
But right now it doesn't....
-
It's also very featureless. Basically videos, comments, likes. I'm on it, and I've opened it maybe 6x in 2 weeks? I also think it's just an open feed; all the videos posted in chronological order (but I could be wrong here). Idk if this goes against the Fediverse creed to have an algorithm-fed feed, but I think part of the nature of these short form, endless-scrolling apps is finding vids about your interests from new places.
-
With the Tiktok ban I think marketing it prematurely has been a good thing and introduced a number of people from that world into the fediverse.
-
-
I think we should ultimately support algorithm feeds, but they should be free and open algorithms that can be peer reviewed, and also maybe give the users some control over which algorithm is applied and how. The problem with current social algorithms is they operate in the dark and are manipulative, not that they provide relevant content to users.

Am I the only one who is bothered by this pic. It looks so fake and photoshopped.
Maybe it’s because my phone has weird contrast settings for accessibility.
Obviously I think whoever made this pic has great intentions and it’ll definitely be good enough for an article banner or something which is what it’s most likely to be used for.

Here is Elena's message on mastodon about it: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113899740641675793 I guess you can always provide some feedback!
-
That, and it's arguable primary purpose is to serve ads. "People similar to you clicked on these ads" type shit. And I get it to a point, platforms need to support themselves, and unless it's a paid app, that doesn't keep servers running. But it'd be nice to just get one every 10 minutes, and not every 10 seconds, and also to opt out of tracking for served ads instead of just random ones.

Nah I’m not gonna dunk on her effort. I’m glad she made it. Don’t wanna be a downer to her.
But it just looks off to me.

Loops by Pixelfed
Loops, explore and share short videos on the fediverse. Available soon!
(loops.video)
-
Nope. Preference should not be made.
-
I disagree. Anybody that joins Loops right now is forced to the one instance. That's not federation. That's not an issue for you. Which is valid. But you don't get to police those who don't share your view.
-
A federated tiktok alternative by the same guy who made Pixelfed. You can find the app on testflight.
It's not actually federated yet, not even open source. It's promising but Dan gets himself into a lot of controversy
It doesn't even have a web ui yet, but it's pretty much finished (atleast from dans mastodon teasers). We only have to wait a couple of weeks or a month for it (i estimate at least)
Don't get my negative comment wrong tho, i'm still excited for it, just disappointed so far from dan's handling of it.
Here's the website: https://loops.video/

Nice work!

Peertube, a voyeurism site for vids of people peering in through window curtains?
-
After reading through this, it wouldn't surprise me if he turned out to be a Russian operative. In particular a Slovakian, no hate to Slavs but he just strikes me as one ya know?
It all just reads like a disgruntled federal operative letting the popularity get to their head.
