One strategy that I’d like to specifically promote is fediverse users calling attention to spaces of the internet where people are talking about the fediverse but there’s relatively few users there that can share their experience.
To that end I’ve been considering things like:
Keep in mind that whatever name we pick will also be the hashtag that the Mastodon contingent of this project will end up using. As it stands, they would see posts from this community under #growthefediverse
But Pixelfed just isn’t a thing most people know about it seems.
You’d be surprised. I’ve had several people reach out unprompted and specifically ask about it
It’s not really a whatsapp alternative. More like a facebook messenger alternative. It replaces and encrypts dms from mastodon, pixelfed, lemmy, etc
Generally, I don’t believe it’s actually an issue with complication. There’s just a resistance to change. That said there’s still significant onus on those invested in the fediverse to make sure It Just Workstm
Crazy enough. People are posting what they were posting on instagram.
Based on the most active servers in that list, I would guess that either something is up with those numbers or the biggest instance actually is a let’s play fan website, and a significant amount of the growth is coming from similar projects.
No friend, that’s December 9th. As in a week ago.
It’s not uncommon in a lot of industries for more signal enterprises to refuse to do business with these sorts of companies.
Literally hundreds of civilians killed to rescue 4 hostages. I don’t know what happened but I can guarantee we will be hearing more about it.
Not a huge fan of the title but this is breaking news and I think the AP can be trusted to at least get the basics right.
Love to see unique features for piefed. So many different ways to tackle “threadiverse” as a project and I think we’re all better off with some experimentation
If anybody’s interested in signing up for the rolling beta, here’s the link
Seems like it’s less a problem with pixelfed and more an issue with pixelfed.social?
The major difference is that it’s modular. So you can pick and choose which traditional social network features you want to use.

Well my own usage so far consists of a mastodon list with my favorite peertube, nebula, and other video creators. Since it’s chronological, it roughly serves the same purpose as the OG YouTube subscriptions page.
The creator is a nebula employee. Don’t believe it’s officially sanctioned, but they aren’t distributing videos, just notifying of new releases. Should all be in the clear based on my limited knowledge.
Love the idea is a “similar communities” button but I don’t know if I’d say searching communities is really that hard.
I think there’s some pretty low hanging fruit here, but most of it is platform specific.
On Mastodon, I think this looks like a revamp of the for you section. As it stands the posts are mostly human curated and the people section is mostly a static list. That is, if you’ve scrolled through the list once, that list will not be different next time unless you’ve followed a significant number of people outside of it. It would be nice if it at least showed you the next 20 or so by the same metric.
On lemmy, I think making the functionality provided by the trending communities community a first class feature would go a long way.
Unmanic to optimize your library in the background. Encoding things to x265 can buy you a huge amount of space.
Edit: Reading again i see that you’re on a pi. Not at all sure what the video encoding performance is on those.
It’s less about news and more about advocacy.
