The Fediverse is more stable than my country's government

I came here from Reddit after figuring out the platform is beyond saving

Thank you for sharing

Having spent about 2 years on Lemmy, I made the commitment to ditch YouTube in favor of PeerTube.

At first, it may look like there's mostly garbage and then some privacy enthusiasts, but that's only because recommendations and search are not very powerful compared to other platforms.

PeerTube is home to troves upon troves of high-quality original content on various topics, you just have to look for it. And for your YouTube-exclusive needs, there are instances that mirror popular channels.

Give it a spin!

ok. so i’ve got around 30tb (and counting) of live music recordings from a small club that hosts national touring folk and americana acts. i would LOVE to have it accessible somewhere other than youtube with all the fukin ads, but i am not sure how to go about making them peer tube accessible.

the instances that i’ve looked into have pretty low caps on storage and for clear and understandable reasons. but that leaves me in the lurch. i’m not able to set up my own instance as the recordings are ongoing and that takes all my available time and resources.

anyone have some knowledge that it don’t?

long live the fediverse.

I've only been on Lemmy a few days and i can already tell i like it, but can understand the frustration in figuring out what an instance is, or what a federation is. But i personally have used linux for years, i'm a huge nerd, and i hate the way places like Reddit and facebook are owned by republican idiots who refuse to let people talk poorly about the orange cult leader.

The Fediverse is the way. In this Financialised capitalism, capitalist platforms will continue to be enshitified as they only tend to shareholders interests of continual growth. They do not care about humans.

We need to keep this momentum going.

For the last two years there's been periods where I'd use Lemmy religiously for a month and then not touch it for three. Lemm.ee shutting down killed a lot of my motivation and excitement, but I'm back on the rollercoaster.

Here from Reddit, have high hopes. This is a marketing problem though, I doubt even 1% of Reddit users know of something like lemmy at all

I think the active users per half month might be a more useful metric than total accounts because that includes all the dead accounts.

Seems like nobody cares about pixelfed here

Glad I joined it!💪👋

Graphs don't show the people who moved from "Reddit" to "Outside".

Also, any decline in the fediverse could also be being fed up with all the overwhelming political doomer posts and also decide to change their platform to "Going Outside".

So a decline can still be overall positive for human socialization, even if it might not be the best for the fediverse.

Edit: typo

We need more federated systems

So you're saying there's a slim chance the underdog can stick around & possibly become what Reddit was meant to be?

& The handful of those of us that make memes for this lost creature should continue to do so?

I always prefer the underdog. Reddit even unbanned me & I'm like "nope, you don't get to do that. I found a better friend that appreciates me in a more healthy way"
