I would hope the Instagram and YouTube alternatives are bigger than the Reddit alternative.
“A rising tide raises all ships.” I’m personally just happy to see further acceptance of the fediverse as a whole and believe that as it becomes more normalized as a concept Lemmy will see a slow spillover of more users
Exactly! I hadn’t used Twitter in almost 15 some odd years and because I started in Lemmy, I learned about mastodon.
While I’m not a daily user, I still have an account.
I’m going to be setting up a pixelfed account soon.
And loops once it’s stable.
Lemmy continues to be where I spend the majority of my time.
Use Masterson occasionally, and just created my pixelfed account and love posting my food pics over there.
Just so you know, you can login to pixelfed with your mastodon account. I assume they’ll add that feature to loops as well if they haven’t yet.
Can you log on to mastodon from pixelfed account?
Not that I’m aware of. For pixelfed, you still have to go through account setup when logging in from your mastodon for the first time, so I think it is just a feature implemented from the developers of pixelfed.
Don’t worry Reddit will fuck something else up soon, besides it’s the fediverse, we all win
Also what’s the federation between Lemmy and Pixelfed like? I know there’s some limited federation with peertube
I tried fetching a Lemmy post (with an image in it) from Pixelfed yesterday and it didnt work, so I’m not sure if they are federating well
I feel like reddit is dying “too slowly”. It’s getting shittier every day but it’s such a slow process that there’s no organized movement at the moment. There haven’t been any major fuckups in a while.
I hope so. I was on Reddit yesterday and even the super obscure subs often get more co rent than the biggest ones here.
The super obscure subs are the only thing worth going to reddit for. I only hang out there when there isn’t lemmy alternative, so the biggest subs are pointless to me
Puxelfed and peertube offer something that most people are looking for while lemmy does not. To whit instagram and youtube are bigger than reddit.
Lemmy has some unique issues beyond that, it’s developed by and for tankies and it shows. I wouldn’t blame anyone for looking at any even vaguely political community on .ml (effectively the flagship instance run by the devs) and just going straight back to Reddit.
I recall my first account was before anyone defederated from hexbear and the sheer amount of poorly educated techbrah takes on Marx/leftism was shocking.
That’s ridiculous. There’s no such thing as politics free social media
100% of the people that I’ve mentioned Lemmy to have done exactly this, followed by expressing distress at ME that I would even mention Lemmy to them in the first place! Unbeknownst to me (bc I chose to forget), I had invited them to a Nazi bar. I may sit here over in my quiet corner and block all of that out, but it is what it is at the end of the day, especially to a newcomer.
I believe Mbin does a better job of Federating than Lemmy (U can follow PeerTube accounts in Lemmy)
Go fediverse! 🤩
Let’s post that meme once Piefed gets mobile apps
It won’t be long before there’s more options.
🤞
I guess you heard that there’s a Thunder port working for it now. Meanwhile the web UI is growing by leaps and bounds, like it just added an inline comment feature. It would help to have more developers working on it, particularly front-end iirc, but even so it’s such a ridiculously faster pace than Lemmy it hardly compares (except Lemmy’s head start was measured in years, which makes it all the more notable then how close PieFed is to having caught up already!?).
Pixelfed has mobile apps
Indeed, I was talking about Piefed
quickly
If you say so.
Weird how people don’t like getting banned for stupid shit
