Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

Everything on Fedi is just different interfaces and perf from the user perspective.

People want to continue to use something close to Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter but not be locked to their enshitified companies who decide what they get to see.

Many that come over find out there's no algorithm and that they have to follow people to get any content, they find they miss the doom scroll and go straight back.

Every one of these federated apps needs a strong meme feed. Just an endless stream of shitposts and funny content. Doesn't need to be doomscrolling, just needs to be a constantly available source of low effort junk food content

It’s like saying “people share photos and videos all the time on Twitter. What is the difference with Instagram?”

I mean, yeah, what's the difference?

[rooki@lemmy.world]

In the case of "DMs on removal of a post / comment" it is possible to do that with the current api of lemmy. But sadly nothing "official" yet. And it wont come anytime soon as lemmy devs officially announced they wont work at any moderation related topics for a while.

[openstars@piefed.social]

I am not saying that I want DMs enabled to mods, and a modmail, and for a post to remain accessible after being removed, and for notifications to be sent to people upon their content being removed, but the lack of all 4 at the same time is what makes Lemmy difficult for people to handle, and will turn people away (likely back to Reddit).

[rooki@lemmy.world]

Like said if the instance has basic autmation at least 1 is doable.

Respectfully, you’re an idiot. Just because it’s also a social network doesn’t mean it’s the same thing. It’s like saying every smartphone is the same. Every car is the same. Every thing from one category is the same. That’s just stupid.

[damage@feddit.it]

Respectfully, you’re an idiot.

well, that's rather contradictory

as for the others, I'm not sure as I don't use them. Switching to the fediverse made me realize I don't need 500 social media accounts.

P.S. The admin of jorts.horse DID contemplate creating a shitposting instance of PixelFed. Though it was only that: contemplation.
