A Request to the Fediverse Community

[rosahaj@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I'm in the exact same boat. But I kind of realized, if I want to see a bigger fediverse, I'll have to help build it up. As the classic saying goes, you can lead a horse to water; but first there's gotta be water. So thank you for taking up the cause of building this lake

actually i don't think that's the saying

[jubilantjaguar@lemmy.world]

That's great news. Good luck.

[gi1242@lemmy.world]

is there a search function in Lemmy to search for posts? is it indexed and does it show up in search engine results?

if yes, that might help a lot with getting traffic

[johnny5@lemm.ee]

Well it is now that you opened the spigot

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

wish I could upvote this a thousand times

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

thats reddit, ppl hate way less here, id prime myself to argue before I made a comment on reddit, made me a more argumentative person

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

What iphone apps do yall use? Rnow I'm using loops for the tiktokclond (hoping more creators join and post there) and mlem for lemmy (liking it more than voyager, arctic seems cleaner but I got used to this interface). Does anyone have a good mastadon app they reccomend? I'm using bluesky since getting an okay feed was easier there, not sure if thats the apps fault. I do like an algorithim just not one based on controversy.

I did start a community for 3d (3dee), dropshipping (dropshipping lol), and chairs (deskchairs) since those were some communities I used on reddit that I didn't see here. Made a general one for 3d since its still small here and spreading the programs out means less visibility and posts on each community imo. Haven't posted yet and neither has anyone else tho.

Apparently the official app was released out of beta recently if I'm not mistaken.

[youngbullhowling@lemm.ee]

I’ve started explaining this to non-techies. Hopefully starting to gain a little traction as the meta/ticktock machine becomes more and more egregious. Also this is speeding up the homelab I’m building.

I’d add the appropriate meme but I’m new here.

I’m doing my part .gif

[youngbullhowling@lemm.ee]

So far went with voyager. Haven’t reviewed the others. Mlem/arctic any better? Need to died something for loops and pixelfied for the other people I know

[fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com]

I've taken on the mantra of "Participate, but be respectful." That's led me to post a few times where I normally wouldn't.

Realize that there is nothing wrong with pissing someone off because they disagree with you. It's only wrong if you pissed them off because of how you said it, or if you are closed minded about being proven wrong.

And in the real world, a down vote doesn't matter.

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

Mlem is like voyager but better imo, arctic looks really good atlo, they are all mostly similar, I like arctics feed but im used to mlem, arctic can show photos and vids in formats that sometimes dont work in voyager or mlem rnow

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

idk if there is, apps only seem to search communities, users, and servers, still new tho

[youngbullhowling@lemm.ee]

Just checked Arctic and noticed that there are a lot more text features as well compared to Voyager.. It’s the little things as these apps are all start to come together.

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

yeah voyager is developing for multiple platforms tho, android and ios

[frankspurplewings@lemmy.world]

Is there a list or links somewhere of the defederated basic site replacements?

Like I know about Lemmy (replacement for reddit), Loops (replacement for ticktock/reels), and pixelfed (replacement for insta). Oh and I switched from Spotify to tidal. ‍️

Is there a YouTube replacement? Thats really the next big media channel I use daily..

Thanks Lemmy friends

[frankspurplewings@lemmy.world]

What fantasy book community is it? I've been looking for one and haven't found one yet

[cracks_inthewalls@sh.itjust.works]

This is a good place to start: https://fedidb.org/software/

I like the idea of PeerTube and hope it catches on, but I wouldn't call it a YouTube replacement at this point. There are services that feed youtube content to users remotely though (there is/was a link-converter bot that went around that annoyed some people here, but a) can't remember the name, and b) can't remember the actual software involved).

[blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

can’t remember the name

Invidious

Invidious is an open source alternative front-end to YouTube.

Invidious (invidious.io)

But nowadays I would rather recommend https://grayjay.app/ or https://freetubeapp.io/
