  • Almost all social apps are about algorithmic feed suggesting content from people you don't know. Facebook is one of the few app that are still about personal connection. I can't remember a single person i interacted with usernames on apps like lemmy

  • So someone was able to rip it before it was taken down? Still cool that we can still watch it

  • They ended up putting it? Or was it leaked?

  • Yes, it make sens

  • I guess that mean it shows in the feed but not in the profile. I wish it that possible to create collection of other people pictures

  • Sorry, i forgot to mention that i'm talking about pixelfed

  • I only use smartphone when i have to. I still make lot of typos on my phone and i am typing slow

  • I don't see a reason to believe that the majority of users on Lemmy are Reddit refugees, because every time Reddit makes a bad decision, we see a boost in new users.

    Technology is one of the most duplicated community name, yet Lemmy.world technology community is one of the most popular, so I don't see community duplication as the biggest issue. The biggest problem with Lemmy and other fediverse app , was always that most people don't understand the appeal of decentralization, because most of them never experienced censorship, so it doesn't directly affect them. I think decentralized app creators should stop using decentralization as the main selling point, and focus instead about the fediverse being open source and about the diversity of clients you can use to navigate them. While also simplifying things like adding an pick a server for me, ability to merge communities with similar or same names, simplifying migration to other servers with the ability to migrate everything including posts.

  • Personally I rarely read usernames on lemmy and reddit

  • I get distracted but not because of smartphone. I always divide movies and shows into 20 min parts

  • But that’s my point it wasn’t created organically one community at a time but a flood of clones with the same names at subreddits vs having there own identity

    I would argue that people like familiarity like linux distros that looks familiar to windows has grown in popularity. Therefore using similar names to the one on reddit makes complete since to me and I don't see it would affect the growth. As for have different content, since lemmy is less mainstream you will see less popular topics. Many communities has a good balance between mainstream topic and less popular content yet fail to make people participating

  • When you are almost the only one posting for more thsn 6 months, it make sens that s lot of community owners stop posting

  • so i’ll ask you back: what do you want from an “instagram-like fedi app”?

    A less buggy Pixelfed like app created by developers who really pay attention to user feedback. The platform should have a simple grid structure with no overlay text just the image. The default feed should be a chronological feed and lets users create collections of both their own and other people's photos. Comments and likes appear on the side when you click on an image and no stupid very limited characters limit like all the twitter like apps. Finally, all of your photos should be easily transferred during the migration procedure to another server. Otherwise people will just pick the biggest instances.

  • All the fediverse app you mentionned are microblogging apps. Do you know any instagram like fedi app as an alternstive to pixelfed?

  • They really think everything is ok as long as it's just a joke

  • BBC finds lol. No, we slresdy knew about that

  • If he miscommunicated his intention then he is still at fault
