Fediverse

FTFY

It's honestly bonkers to have a community hosted on Lemmy this hostile to Lemmy as software and the developers.

I am unreasonably angry about the stretched icons.

Lol, posting Piefed as an alternative to reddit to Lemmy...

Also, PeerTube is super obtuse to get an account and has almost no reach. You almost have to personally know someone who has a server or host your own. There's a reason why video hosting has gotten so corporatized: it's expensive. That said, almost "no one" used Mastodon for nearly a decade and it's finally starting to take off, so maybe it just needs another decade or two.

Should be Lemmy over piefed.

What's the difference between Piefed and Lemmy?

Isn't lemmy the reddit of the fediverse?

TikTok -> driving rusty nails through your nipples

Also, to avoid doing unpaid labour for Jeff Bezos, go from Goodreads to Bookwyrm!

And also don't forget to donate to your devs!

:3

Peertube isn't really a viable alternative. There isn't a substantial enough audience for creators and there isn't really enough content for an audience. I guess if you're one of the 100 people watching transport evolved that's cool but it isn't really a meaningful alternative. I suppose it could be supplementary, but why would creators want to drive their traffic to a site that doesn't actually matter for their visibility? I imagine the same probably applies to loops.

Also, like, with video you kind of want a reliable host that you know isn't going anywhere.

The rest are okay as long as you're not super worried about how many people are seeing what you post. Lemmy and Piefed are great for content aggregation and discussion, but they seem to be the only ones that at this point actually do anything that might be helpful.

I've tried Mastodon and while it's way better than Twitter it isn't exactly providing a way to reach a substantial audience. Personal websites are probably a better bet for ease of access.

I've been using lemmy.world with the boost app. Should I look into piefed? Am I missing anything? I mean I'm happy with what I got, but is the grass any greener?

I'm 1 foot out of Reddit

What I miss is a auth service for all of them. Something like a "common user" where you can have all your Fediverse services under the same user.

The original version of this has Lemmy on there. Why replace with piefed? Could have added instead of replaced.

All the proposed services/technologies would benefit the wider consumer base and the user but switching is too big an ask for many people. We need to encourage people into using "as well as" the global defaults. That will build the network effects that lower the cost of fully switching

An easier and bigger immediate impact would come from people replacing Chrome and google search with respectful alternatives, and/or replacing gmail or outlook with private services like proton or tuta.
Starve the surveillance machines a little bit.

can anyone eli5 what the difference is from piefed to lemmy? i have a lemmy account, do i have a use for a piefed accnt too?
