Sometimes you have to go where the people are.

I’ve found more people in my local area are on ig. Not on reddit, so it’s easy in my local area. But it’s one company for another.

Oh nice! I can’t see very well on phone.

Debian is supposedly coming to android. That would be cool.

Welcome!

There’s a ton of good apps that use the API.

Reddit has become very strange.

Shadowbanning sucks when your on the other side of it.

Forever mods that have hundreds of default subreddits act like dictators. Banning people from all their collections of subreddits without anyone knowing.

Removing the ability for users to see actual number of votes up/down.

And now with the whole “don’t upvotes certain content or you will get a strike”. Never mind that isn’t how the site works at all.

They haven’t come out with a feature that people have wanted in the last couple of years.

The entire fedi is going up with new users. We keep having wins.

Kinda easy when traditional keeps hitting itself over and over.

If only he didn’t get rid of all the senior engineers that worked on the platform.

How is he going to be president and keep Twitter up and running at the same time?

Yeah they essentially killed about half the extensions I use. I have to use the browser for work.

The spec requires a huge relay for everything as well as not the greatest docs/missing pieces.

It’s very difficult to use. As a dev, it’s not the greatest.

Looks like annonomus is saying they took it down.

Mine is !peertube@lemmy.world ;)

To those of you as admins on Mastodon, adding a very basic CAPCHA stops it auto creating accounts.

I have a local mastodon that we maintain.

Oh this is a good one!

Oh yeah filters! They are a thing. Works pretty well on piefed.

oh wait that may not work for you on my server, I made it auth protected woops!

It works but im on the phone…so im going to leave it for now. But yeah it works.

Yep works both ways.

If you want to try it out: Pixelfed to other services:

It shows up in:

• Mastodon: https://social.rootaccess.org/@michaelc@photos.chrisco.me/114114045115285962

Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/114122668582152347

And here it is in pixelfed: https://photos.chrisco.me/i/web/post/803734298035587039

Pixelfed federation works well. it shows up on anything activityhub related.

Works closer to mastodon with hashtags.

That’s a very good question. I don’t have a good answer ATM. I have both because I’m on the fence.

Lemmy and piefed both scratch the topic discovery itch. Both are excellent software.

Piefed pros:

1. Topics (collection of communities) are awesome to subscribe to.
2. One of the best fediverse integrations out there.
3. The python is easy to read.
4. Mod tools are great.
5. The main dev is a treasure

Lemmy pros:

1. Very reddit like UI.
2. Lots of apps phone or otherwise.
3. Very well supported by admins of the bigger instances

Lemmy has an easier way to post than piefed. The selection of communities is a bit better. Piefed is much easier to stand up on home servers (I did it once). It’s also seeing a large amount of dev work right now. And as I’ve said before it has much better fediverse integration than Lemmy. Lemmy has this issue where it’s hard to federate with other services, even when you search using the search tool.

Piefed /Lemmy for keeping up with topics.

GoToSocial for keeping up with people and how they are going.

Pixelfed for my dog pictures and other people’s pets.

Peertube mostly for my family (dog or otherwise) videos.and subscriptions. I have around 40 now :)

Other than Lemmy/piefed, I self host everything on a very small server. It’s fun if you like that kinda thing.
