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

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.

[itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world]

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.

LBRY is hosting a fundraiser to revive & strengthen the project

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

[excrubulent@slrpnk.net]

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.

[excrubulent@slrpnk.net]

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

[suoko@feddit.it]

Yes , I was joking

[bufalo1973@lemm.ee]

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

[9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works]

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.
