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

I wish them the best of luck. Back when they were well funded, they had a hard time staying up without servers. I hope they sort it out.

Yea peertube is rough... Mostly in part due to, in my opinion at least, people wanting to make use of YouTube's ad revenue system even tho most creators I watch making most of their income via donations rather than ad revenue.

I think a big part of that is just straight up storage space, more specially a lack thereof. Google won't release specifics but estimates put the total data stored by YouTube at somewhere near an exabyte (1 million terrabytes). Most of which is made up by video files.

Of course that's just issue number 1 of many to figure out.

Runs much faster than java BlueSky, the destroyer of batteries.

Storage costs keeps getting cheaper, but high quality video keeps taking up more space.

It's a matter of finding where the line between cost and user satisfaction meet.

Like sure you could limit all videos to 60fps @ 720p or 30fps @ 1080p but most everyone now wants everything 120fps @ 2160p which takes up dozens of gigs per video and eats up bandwidth.

Mastodon has third-party starter packs now. I wonder if it works for Pixelfed?

Can they not see you? Or is it just piracy stuff

Just the one community about piracy. The rest can be seen both ways
