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! πŸ™‚

What are you supposed to put in the "server url" field in Pixelix? I put the instance I have an account on, because I don't have any other information that would make sense to put there, but nothing happens when I tap the arrow.

Also, what the fuck, fediverse. It's exactly this kind of bullshit that's why nobody joins you. Fix it for Christ's sake. Something this unintuitive doesn't even belong in a beta build. If I was a paid instagram plant making this app to frustrate people into going back to instagram, this is the splash screen I'd use. Stop making it impossible to recommend you in good faith to people I like.

I don't know about that app specifically, but I know some fediverse apps do not have all instances in their directory. For example, fedilab doesn't have friendica.world. I would suggest hunting around for an app that supports your instance, but I agree, it is a dumb problem. What is the point of being able to join whatever instance you want if it is not listed on the app?

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.

Gotta have an official app, that’s the only reason I made an account and posted anything.

And those are just the instances that show up. Nice!

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.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Along with people being unhappy with Meta, and the looming TikTok ban, Pixelfed just now released apps for it.

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.

The heard "someday" there will be Groups...

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I still can't get a loops account.

[–] catsrcool@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

nothing much on there from what I've seen, has potential though

[–] helios@social.ggbox.fr 3 points 2 days ago

It still doesn't have a webapp that was supposed to ship weeks ago. The android app is buggy, laggy and doesn't allow direct capture from the camera. I'd say loops is not ready yet.
