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

Mastodon is twitter, peer tube is youtube, foxelfed is Instagram.... What is misskey?

You inspired me to do a bit more digging. I found the page on world population review.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/reddit-users-by-country

Which lists this site as the true source. Looks pretty legit to me. Seems to be a paid service.

They've got US traffic listed around 51% for December 2024, so it's actually gone up significantly compared to the March 2023 figures cited by world population review

The app only allows for local posts and you can't switch to global making it feel smaller than it is.

Twitter. With a little google drive thrown into the mix. Plus simple custom algorithmic feeds. And some kooky animation stuff.

[ninemiletower@lemmy.world]

Searching hashtags needs to have sort options to make that happen. I want to see most recent and top liked too.

[atheartengineer@lemmy.world]

It's mostly landscape, food, and cats.

I'm mainly posting dogs and computers

I mean yes but it’s also the official title for the English release of the game.

Like to be clear I’m not being the person who’s like “oh have you seen Kôkaku Kidôtai?” And then you’re like “what the fuck is that” and I’m like “uh, I guess if you’re uncultured you might know it as ghost in the shell.” And then everyone in the room groans because of fucking course every single person who speaks English as a native language has always called it ghost in the shell

Are you on a smaller server? The local feeds of the larger ones are crazy right now.

The other apps all support the global feed. The web-ui does too. The Android app is not great right now so I've been using Pixelix. The global feed's pretty useless though, IMO. You kind of get buried in Mastodon people "quoting" with images of text. They really need a Pixelfed-Global feed because it's pretty damn hard to discover people on other Pixelfed servers right now.

Where does Honk fit into this? https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk

I don't disagree it's an issue, but what should be allowed in general communities? If any other nation's politics are allowed, then you can't really just not allow US politics (unless you make that a rule for the community and part of its purpose, which is fine).

There are just more Americans here than any particular other nationality, so you get more US content on average. You'll need specific non-US communities if you want to avoid it. Expecting general communities to not reflect the general audience is a little absurd.

They need some starter packs like BlueSky because all I’m seeing are some art photography highly likely ai generated.

[breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca]

Oh yeah, I can see how it could feel slow. 3000 active users vs. 160,000 on pixelfed.social.

Well, hope the global feed situation gets sorted out for you one way or another!

[chrislowles@lemm.ee]

I'm liking it but they need to work on navigation, mostly the scrolling animations. What makes Tiktok/IG Reels great imo was the quickish navigation from post to post.

Yesterday I revived my old Pixelfed account, and I have set myself a challenge, upload one photo every day for a month.

I have plenty of photos from the last decade to pick from

I don't know if this will mean that my account will be active in the long run, but I'll give it an honest try.

I posted this earlier in the thread:

i just hate the way most people here assume everyone is coming from US smh

[justenoughducks@feddit.nl]

Interesting because i just joined 1 day ago so my feed only has 5 default following, but discover only has about 5 other peoples' work repeated through the discover tab. It seems difficult to discover new people which could be a problem in retaining normal people after the ibflux, like what happened to lemmy

I can't wait for peertube to take off. I think of all of the social medias, youtube has the most enduring monopoly, because hosting is such a huge barrier it's got even more of a natural monopoly than regular social media.

I think once peertube can start ascending that kight be the ballgame for decentralised social media in general.

[seekpie@lemm.ee]

That's reddit, not Lemmy?
