Kick ass! I'm all for more Fediverse stuff getting popular, and if this has any competition, just means more features will be added across all of them.

Is this the fediverse's answer to Instagram?

[–] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 53 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (8 children)

Yes.

-Instagram has pixelfed. -Reddit has lemmy -X has Mastodon/Misskey/Pleroma (&forks..) -Tiktok has loops (app still super rough around the edges and sadly on limited to one instance rather than having its own software from what i understand) -Youtube has peertube (so far the least used i think)

I can't wait for peertube to take off. I think of all of the social medias, youtube has the most enduring monopoly, because hosting is such a huge barrier it's got even more of a natural monopoly than regular social media.

I think once peertube can start ascending that might be the ballgame for decentralised social media in general.

I dont understand how to join or post on peertube, its the most confusing, do you host your own, is there a feed of all the servers?

When a fediverse app wins, the whole fediverse wins. A rising tide lifts all ships or however it goes.

My feed on Pixelfed is way better the second week, now that I've followed a couple dozen folks and put some posts out there.

And pro tip: Post and tag a cute picture of your pet and people will see your account.

They need some starter packs like BlueSky because all I’m seeing are some art photography highly likely ai generated - and I have no idea where to find content that has any value. On searching the hashtags I’m getting mastodon posts containing links that can’t be clicked.

[–] bufalo1973@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

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

One question, does LBRY (The protocol powering Odysee) count as something Federated ?

[–] sudoer777@lemmy.ml 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Does Odysee even use LBRY anymore? They abandoned the desktop app a while ago and I'm not sure how else you can use the protocol

(if so, then assuming everything is on Odysee then it's about as federated as Bluesky)

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Well....... LBRY is hosting a fundraiser to revive & strengthen the project. Including setting up nodes for Charity purposes like for Public Domain stuff

People like looking at photos of food and cats more than being railed for having "incorrect* political viewpoints? (/s for anyone not picking up on that btw:-P)

Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 5 points 9 hours ago

I’m uploading shit daily. At least I’ll keep your feed busy.

Me.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 10 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Yesterday I revived my old Pixelfed account, and I have set myself a challenge, upload one photo every day for a month.

I have plenty of photos from the last decade to pick from

I don't know if this will mean that my account will be active in the long run, but I'll give it an honest try.

I posted this earlier in the thread:

Yeah dude me obviously. @mayur@pixelfed.social

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 56 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

fuck it, I tried mastodon, I'll give pixelfed a try too.

[–] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 hours ago

Same, just created an account on metapixl.com even though I never used Instagram before

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

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.

Is there any integration with Lemmy? Cross promotion would be awesome, and something big tech can’t actually do.

I am but a humble end user using the web interface, but I do know mastodon comments can somehow show up on Lemmy.

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

I'm not sure about Lemmy, but I found this post to be a good explanation of how Pixelfed interacts with Mastodon.

Based on what it says there, I wouldn't really expect it to play-nice with Lemmy though. We might be able to access Pixelfed posts here on Lemmy, but almost certainly not the other way around - because Pixelfed requires an image in every post.

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 31 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Hello from Mastodon.

All of these "talk" ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.
