Pixelfed Smashes Kickstarter Campaign Goal on Day One
-
I actually wrote a bit about this in the past: https://deadsuperhero.com/2021/10/peertubes-content-wasteland/
TL;DR - Yeah, it's possible to fill up your local catalogue of remote entries really quickly through instance following. The problem is not a shortage of instances or videos, the problem is that cutting it down to the good stuff requires a lot of active curation. It's very easy to just open the firehose and drown in a never-ending stream of junk.

Interesting. I feel like that might be less of an issue for the microblog fediverse though? It doesn't have the same problem with content generation
-
Yeah, I'd say it might have more to do with the fact that making texts posts is a lot easier than making videos. It's still possible to introduce too much noise, regardless of medium, but there's a lot less friction when the medium is simpler and doesn't require much work.

I have these same issues with mine. Checking the logs shows the requests are coming through but nothing updates, which is annoying. I’m at my wits’ end!
After experiencing several other bugs I’m thinking of calling it quits and giving it time to mature a bit.

I have to admit that the name hits hard. I had trouble setting up an account but I'll check it out once the servers stabilize.

I read that as feces and got confused why it was pretty and all lol
-
Yeah, I think it works fine-ish for a single instance, but federation needs work.

It's some pretty good shit

Pixelfed is growing like crazy (as always make sure to read the Y-axis labels)
Fediverse Observer checks all servers in the fediverse and gives you an easy way to find a home.
Pixelfed Fediverse Servers. Find a Pixelfed server to sign up for, find one close to you!
(pixelfed.fediverse.observer)
Hopefully they get good integration with Lemmy and get some of that content showing up over here too lol

the difference is the level of control
X and Facebook are closed source, so you can't review them and they could be hiding stuff in their code or just do things people don't like and we can't revert
they also control the servers and don't let you self host, so they can make bad admin decisions and there's nothing we can do
and they also horde the content so you can't get it from somewhere else, which means you can't just leave and use a different platform (not easily at least)
over here if you don't like the devs then you don't need to donate to them, you don't need to use their instance, or we can fork their code, or even use an alternative (like Mbin vs Lemmy)

The thing that I hate about the bridge is that, I need to separately bridge my account with bluesky to interact with a bluesky account bridged to fediverse.

Cool link! Thanks

True, but it's not that hard. It's still cool that you can communicate.https://fed.brid.gy/

I waited like 2, maybe 3 days to get approved for Pixelfed.art back around late Dec/early Jan. Since the spike of TikTok users happened after me, it might be more time. Have patience comrade, you'll get there
