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.
And those are just the instances that show up. Nice!
Gotta have an official app, thatβs the only reason I made an account and posted anything.
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?
Yes, it's the most confusing part, if you want to discover Pixelfed accounts from other servers, you have to go to another server's home page, then click on "Explore" which will show you popular posts by that server's users. I have done this and now I follow a bunch of accounts from other servers, but the process is very convoluted and the average user would not bother I guess.
The web version of Pixelfed does have a "Global Feed" page but that's 99% Mastodon posts because the "Global Feed" is actually global relative to the whole Fediverse.
Hey man, I don't care about your graph but can you just block me anyway? Cheers! π
325,000 users? Had no idea.
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.
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.
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.
Along with people being unhappy with Meta, and the looming TikTok ban, Pixelfed just now released apps for it.
looks like ... the climate has changed
Your graph sucks
The heard "someday" there will be Groups...
