Editing to let people know that I will be blocking anyone who feels the need to tell me why this graph is inaccurate. I truly don't care, but feel free to chime in with your useless take and land a spot on my block list! π
Oh no, Metas profits!! How will they live in a slightly better world now?
@Evil_Shrubbery @korendian I hope they perish, a truely evil corp. They ones ecperimented with making folks depressed because depressed people are more sensitive to impulse buying.
Pixelfed is federated, an account can be made with Mastodon to log into different servers. But it seems different from lemmy in that joining one instance doesn't seem to provide you with a method to view other instances and pick and choose as part of your feed. I think some people find that confusing. Any comments on that?
Lemmy is unique on the fediverse, in that it has communities that you can subscribe to. The closest equivalent is community groups on Friendica. Pixelfed is more similar to Mastodon in that you can follow individual accounts, or hashtags/search terms, which is how you subscribe to different content in your feed. For example, I follow #catsofmastodon and see all posts tagged with that in my feed. Hashtagging your posts is very important if you want it to be seen. Lemmy is more oriented towards discussions, which is why communities make more sense in this context than on Pixelfed or Mastodon.
Gotta have an official app, thatβs the only reason I made an account and posted anything.
And those are just the instances that show up. Nice!
Hey man, I don't care about your graph but can you just block me anyway? Cheers! π
325,000 users? Had no idea.
does anyone know why this sudden uptick?
Streisand effect. There's a news story going around about Meta intentionally deleting links to Pixelfed: https://www.404media.co/meta-is-blocking-links-to-decentralized-instagram-competitor-pixelfed/
I'm sure Zuckerberg's recent comments are helping as well.
Combo of terrible moderation rules changes by meta, the release of the pixelfed app on Android and iOS, and coverage of that app by major tech news outlets.
Along with people being unhappy with Meta, and the looming TikTok ban, Pixelfed just now released apps for it.
Meta has changed their ToS. Prior, you could not accuse someone of being mentally ill without consequence. Now there is an exception allowing shitty people to accuse someone of being mentally ill if they are gay or trans. It's seriously fucked up.
Also, Mark Zuckerberg, the ostrich fucker, removed the fact checker from Meta services.
Letβs hope the mobile apps become real mobile apps instead of web page wrappers.
I can understand if you build a site that allows itself to be pinned to your device as if it were an app. Thatβs a great way to get a product onto devices before you have time+effort to build a native app.
Itβs quite another thing to have an actual app with a highly visible GUI wrapper whose only purpose is to connect to and display a specific website.
Like, cβmon.
Your graph sucks
looks like ... the climate has changed
