One question, does LBRY (The protocol powering Odysee) count as something Federated ?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 46 minutes ago

it's all fascists and cryptobros

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

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)

I was curious what the other apps were, found the list: https://fedidb.org/software

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.

Is this the fediverse's answer to Instagram?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (3 children)

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)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 50 minutes ago

Does this help?

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.
