Pixelfed's first plateau in progress
-
Their platform is Mastodon tho
-
What goes up must come down
-
Meta ended their fact checking program and decided that hate speech against queer folks is "freedom of speech"
Then people left in droves
-
Support JPEG XL or HEIC/HEIF and I will join
-
Plus all the newer redditors repeat the jokes not just at the optimal times, but just constantly, forever
-
I've been spending more time on reddit recently, and it's not because I like it better. Somehow that algorithmic infinite scroll just makes time disappear despite being largely ungratifying. It's the same with Youtube. Whereas with Lemmy I check the first, and maybe second page, and then I feel like that's all I need for a while and go do something else.
-
Not php but Laravel. Like I said it forces workers to be on the same host with the same storage as the API, it doesn't allow scaling of multiple API nodes or worker nodes, and his docker containers require me running special commands left and right. No other docker containers of mine do that
-
Facebook had to basically rewrite php so it would scale though, it's called Hack now

here's your issue trackers.
I must say though, this seems like a strange feature to draw the line on, is it really that important to you what image format is used?
-
Check out YUNOhost. I had a Pixelfed server up and running in 20 mins.
-
The app is still doo doo. I end up just going on Firefox on my phone
-
Yeah, all apps advertise "no algorithms" - well those algorithms are what is pulling users back and back again and the more you get people to open your app - the more likely it is that they'll contribute something.
I have to remind myself to open Pixelfed. Which is how I want it to be and how it should be. But I also understand that none of my friends will go there and look at nothing and then check in again a day later.
-
Not for me but I can see how it would be for some people joining a platform focusing on image content.
-
Like a lot of fediverse experiences - the initial need to pick a server is deeply problematic for new users.
Why pick one server over the other? How do get I, (pretending) as someone with no idea about the fediverse, get informed about this choice.
If I take a gamble, then I canāt log in using my mastodon account. Then the login fails with others.
I was happy to persevere, my partner not so much.
The thing is that picking a sever is kind of neat but itās so tech-centric when it should be community centric. A quick blurb about the community and their vibe/ideology would go a long way. Maybe a quick preview of some random content? Instead weāre playing a guessing game with a url.
But hey, itās early days and these things will improve because we can all pitch in to help be the change.
-
PixelNest is millions better than the Pixelfed app.
-
Well then stop notting. Donāt not. Do.
-
I'll have to check it out. When I made a post from the pixelfed app it cropped some of it for some reason
-
Honestly just pick one and use it for a bit. Pick the most popular and learn more about the platform from there. That's exactly what I did with Lemmy.
I joined lemmy.world first then I liked sh.itjust.works and now I'm on SDF. It took a little bit longer to find the instance I really liked but never stopped me from using Lemmy. Just pick one and use it
-
I think my point was missed. I was using āIā but my writing was a user story.
Iām talking about why adoption for fediverse platforms falters - especially for those coming from very slick, big money, apps with a whole team or teams focused on on-boarding.
IE. Itās not a user-centric experience (yet) - but we also donāt need teams focused on onboarding. Just small tweaks.
-
And my axe!
