Pixelfed has been making incredible strides over the past few years, and has begun developing a suite of different platforms and services for the #Fediverse. After just one day on Kickstarter, they've already smashed their campaign goal.

But they still need your help!

I actually wrote a bit about this in the past: https://deadsuperhero.com/2021/10/peertubes-content-wasteland/

TL;DR - Yeah, it's possible to fill up your local catalogue of remote entries really quickly through instance following. The problem is not a shortage of instances or videos, the problem is that cutting it down to the good stuff requires a lot of active curation. It's very easy to just open the firehose and drown in a never-ending stream of junk.

Interesting. I feel like that might be less of an issue for the microblog fediverse though? It doesn't have the same problem with content generation

Yeah, I'd say it might have more to do with the fact that making texts posts is a lot easier than making videos. It's still possible to introduce too much noise, regardless of medium, but there's a lot less friction when the medium is simpler and doesn't require much work.
