PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?

[carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

yup… (at least in the stable channel)

what’s most infuriating is that it used to have it but at some point they redesigned the app and made it worse…?

you don’t have to imitate instagram that much, dansup

[gooberear@lemmy.wtf]

I know I can Kagi or duckduckgo it or whatever you people are using these days, but what is PixelFed and what's it an alternative to? News aggregators aside, I don't social media so I'm not sure if it's a tiktok or instagram or whatsapp or faceplace.

[chickenf622@sh.itjust.works]

I believe it's supposed to be a fediverse version of Instagram. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong

[satanclaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I am here to not correct you.

[morrowind@lemmy.ml]

It can but you can't follow users from Lemmy, same issue as mastodon

I thought everyone was dogs using the internet while the humans are at work.

[quill7513@slrpnk.net]

Well then I guess we must sniff butts

[dogs_cant_look_up@lemmy.world]

I could see posts and follow users and tags, but couldn't make any posts myself and have pretty much given up now.

Thank you Santa

"We can't want"? Do you mean "wait"?

[p4ulin_kbana@lemmy.eco.br]

Absolutely agree with this.

It's hard to discover something new, sometimes.

[p4ulin_kbana@lemmy.eco.br]

I don't think Mastodon was really competing with Bluesky. Bluesky is way ahead while Fediverse fanboys thought people would somehow just learn to use Mastodon. (while they wouldn't shut up about Bluesky)

"tech bro free social media"

[magnus919@lemmy.brandyapple.com]

I really wish it were more straightforward to deploy. It would be great to see many more instances popping up.

[westyvw@lemm.ee]

I joined an instance, I discovered some people who posted some cool pictures and so I added them to my feed.

Maybe try dropping the instance you started with?

I gotta say I am rather meh about it, but that isn't pixelfeeds fault. I just dont really care to see people posting random shit online.

But I gotta try so I can explain it to people who do because so many businesses (usually small artists) feel they can't leave Instagram because they don't know where else to market, and their followers won't leave because the business is there.

I can't recommend change without experiencing it so I can help support it.

We just need to explain federation to them
