Pixelfed's first plateau in progress
-
-
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

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!

I was under the impression that Jpeg XL was written out of modern browsers due to Google pushing their image format instead or are you talking specific support with in Pixelfed app?

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
