My account got deleted for inactivity like forever ago. I don't post pics and there wasn't much there at the time, I wish they'd have left it but I understand.

Anyway, what's a good instance to make a new account? Mostly gonna lurk, don't post pics much (or really at all), as I said.

I don't know if Lemmy is for everyone, but I'm very happy to see the fedicerse gaining more traction.

Every user that onboards to pixelfed is going to now understand how to set up mastodon.

Blue sky is basically trying the exact same thing and expecting a different result.

Misskey seems really popular looking at numbers. I'm confused because nobody talks about it. Is it because of some niche super active audience?

How the fuck is peertube above Lemmy??? What the actual fuck??? Everytime I go there, it's the same 3 people who've made like 5 daily videos about linux....and nothing else ever.

I get that I'm not exactly the target linux audience, but if KDE pulls an update from version 6.1 to 6.2, THAT IS NOT BREAKING NEWS!!! You do not need 10 videos discussing the 4 new features every time any linux software updates.

But THAT has more users than THIS??? It's a broken down joke with a lot of potential that will never be realized until their search becomes intutive and all inclusive! I should have video results natively within the same page that pulls from ALL of peertube. Not just the current instance.

"Trending" should default to trending on all of peertube. You can include a filter to show trending on local instance only, but it shouldn't be the default.

In some countries with vpn blocking it's the only way to get videos. there's also a lot of instances that don't federate. The default English relays are quite bad for English speakers but in French for example there's a huge amount of content.

I literally had never even heard of Misskey and Peertube lol. I have a hard time thinking too mostly unknowns are bigger than Lemmy.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

MissKey is like facebook. It's mostly Japanese users.

Peertube is like is Youtube had the same instance/decentralized format as Lemmy.

Except Lemmy actually has a functional search that you don't need to go to an external website to use. It's really broken.

Mastodon is twitter, peer tube is youtube, foxelfed is Instagram.... What is misskey?

[–] breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Twitter. With a little google drive thrown into the mix. Plus simple custom algorithmic feeds. And some kooky animation stuff.
