Pixelfed's first plateau in progress
-
I'm not a PHP fan but it scales better than Python or Ruby (Mastodon) does. I think Dan is a cowboy of an engineer, but blaming performance on his stack choice is a bad take.
-
I've only used insta for it's reels so idk how it's really an alternative for me
-
Other events will cause additional spikes for Pixelfed, Mastodon and others. Unless the US Oligarchs are going to stop supporting Trump's bat shit crazy policies they will keep pushing group after group off of their platforms.
It will be easier for the next wave to join as their is already content and already people they know and many issues addressed.
-
Though, I'd argue if we were awesome and had something truly nice to offer, we'd grow on our own. And not just if someone else messes up and becomes unbearable. But it's complicated.
-
I haven’t been posting as much as I was initially. That might be it.
-
Dans actions will decide user retention, I think.
-
It depends. I don’t feel forced to go on there because it has none of my friends.
Obviously I’ll go once every few weeks to check out cool photography but I’m really not an active user there. -
There is loops but its very very new so not as polished as other apps.
-
Lemmy reminds me of why I liked reddit in the first place. Back in 2010
-
I don't even know the point is stories. Why not post... A picture or video directly?
-
The entire app could be a snap to set up
I refuse to use snaps
-
Oh its your fault then
-
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
