Pixelfed's first plateau in progress
-
Check out YUNOhost. I had a Pixelfed server up and running in 20 mins.

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.

Well then stop notting. Don’t 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

I think my point was missed. I was using “I” but my writing was a user story.
I’m 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. It’s not a user-centric experience (yet) - but we also don’t need teams focused on onboarding. Just small tweaks.

And my axe!

As per my other comment - the algorithm is only part of it.
A big aspect however is the slickness and ease-of-onboarding for mega-Corp apps. It’s a thing that would relatively easy to begin work on.
I’ve seen first hand the amount of time and money even growth-stage startups spend on onboarding and have lots of first-hand reports from peers at the big girls - it’s a critical part of success. Make it easy to get started and easy to stay using.
It’s missing from most fediverse experiences. Pixelfed being a serious contender for an on-boarding rethink.
“time-to-value” - we want that as low as possible.

IT's still rough for being production. Getting to my mentions in Pixelfed is a real PITA
-
The curve is leveling off in the typical manner of a plateau starting. It's "plateauing".
-
Pixelix is great too
-
The defense of "it's so easy just pick a server" is getting exhausting.
The average person wants something that works.
-
That's how Reddit was in the beginning.
Back then, you used to show someone "the front page of the internet" and it would literally be jailbait and tech news.

It does.... Just work... Just pick one... And it works...
