This isn't art, it's a platform, it's a tool more akin to engineering than painting.

Would you have this same response for x, Facebook, or truth social?

[ch00f@lemmy.world]

Yeah, but that's the thing. You can only search if you know the exact username of the user on the other server. But you can't find usernames on other servers without creating an account there.

I wish it was more like Lemmy where you can browse other instances without an account at that instance.

[jubilantjaguar@lemmy.world]

It's a fair point. But then in the case of a piece of (literal) art created by a computer program, who was the artist if not the programmer? In legal terms software is a work of creativity like any other.

Perhaps the important factor is how many people are involved. To be art, there has to be a single artist.

followed hope it works

Peertube does not suffer from this actually. On Peertube, the instances (servers) follow each other. Making all the content available on both.

If you don't hate bluesky, that's an option as well: https://fed.brid.gy/

Have you ever noticed that people get all nitpicky when they want to distract from the original message?

[danc4498@lemmy.world]

I use Instagram only for recipes. I hope to someday be able to replace that entirely.

[ch00f@lemmy.world]

Thanks!

Though I appear to be having trouble having people follow me from other servers. I don't see you in my followers list, and when I tried following a test account on another server, I didn't see their posts. Not sure what's going on. Does it just take a while for the servers to sync?

[lilaorchideen@feddit.org]

I think it may take some time to sync up. Cannot see your posts (yet). I sent you a Welcome msg as dm, did you get that?

[ch00f@lemmy.world]

Yep. nothing yet.

[ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

That's an interesting idea. I was wondering how it would scale, but as the network grows, even if it just grabbed some random stuff from remote instances, it would still help it grow by giving the local instance plenty of content to seed from

[nelots@lemm.ee]

So if two people work together on a painting, its not art?

[jubilantjaguar@lemmy.world]

Edge case! Maybe? Or a Beatles song written by John and Paul.

[itjustdonn@slrpnk.net]

Patiently waiting for my application to get accepted (ಥ﹏ಥ) how long does it take on average?

[spicehoarder@lemm.ee]

I think in terms of fedi, it's fine. I mean plenty of people think Linus Torvold is an Ass, but we all love Linux for what it is.

[hanrahan@slrpnk.net]

Hers a list of Fedi based projects where parople have said the same thing

*Mastodon
*Lemmy
*GotoSocial
*Bookwyhrm

Then step outside that
*Linix
*GNU

Then stuff like
*Meta
*Twitter
*Microsoft
*Apple
*Oracle
*AI

Do anything and some people will dislike you. I save my loathing for the commercial projects and the inevitable enshitiftacion of the internet that they necessarily add to.

To be fair, the flagship instance recently had a surge of 200,000 new sign-ups. Dansup mentioned to me that he's currently seeing like 50 new posts every minute. He's probably scrambling to upgrade infra.
