Any entry into the Fediverse is a good one!
Gateway drug!
Kick ass! I'm all for more Fediverse stuff getting popular, and if this has any competition, just means more features will be added across all of them.
When a fediverse app wins, the whole fediverse wins. A rising tide lifts all ships or however it goes.
Is this the fediverse's answer to Instagram?
Yes.
-Instagram has pixelfed. -Reddit has lemmy -X has Mastodon/Misskey/Pleroma (&forks..) -Tiktok has loops (app still super rough around the edges and sadly on limited to one instance rather than having its own software from what i understand) -Youtube has peertube (so far the least used i think)
I can't wait for peertube to take off. I think of all of the social medias, youtube has the most enduring monopoly, because hosting is such a huge barrier it's got even more of a natural monopoly than regular social media.
I think once peertube can start ascending that might be the ballgame for decentralised social media in general.
Does peertube have monetization for creator's? Because that's how you get content that most people watch.

I dont understand how to join or post on peertube, its the most confusing, do you host your own, is there a feed of all the servers?
You just pick an instance and join it, sadly i don't think it has enough federation yet so its entirely possible u just chose a bad instance and have amazing creators sitting on other instances yours isn't federated with
If you f up and join lemmy.dbzero you wont see any posts from lemmyworld users and the same issue if you join the other

My feed on Pixelfed is way better the second week, now that I've followed a couple dozen folks and put some posts out there.
And pro tip: Post and tag a cute picture of your pet and people will see your account.
They need some starter packs like BlueSky because all I’m seeing are some art photography highly likely ai generated - and I have no idea where to find content that has any value. On searching the hashtags I’m getting mastodon posts containing links that can’t be clicked.
Search with the magnifying glass icon. In Discover maybe you can find something.

Looks really cool, just discovered something liket his existed.
One question, does LBRY (The protocol powering Odysee) count as something Federated ?
Does Odysee even use LBRY anymore? They abandoned the desktop app a while ago and I'm not sure how else you can use the protocol
(if so, then assuming everything is on Odysee then it's about as federated as Bluesky)
Well....... LBRY is hosting a fundraiser to revive & strengthen the project. Including setting up nodes for Charity purposes like for Public Domain stuff

People like looking at photos of food and cats more than being railed for having "incorrect* political viewpoints? (/s for anyone not picking up on that btw:-P)

Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?
Yesterday I revived my old Pixelfed account, and I have set myself a challenge, upload one photo every day for a month.
I have plenty of photos from the last decade to pick from
I don't know if this will mean that my account will be active in the long run, but I'll give it an honest try.
I posted this earlier in the thread:
