News from fediverse

@[email protected] Flickr is not in the same category as Instagram. It has publicly available APIs and feeds, and can be accessed without using an official slot-machine-style zuckerpump app (indeed, its official app leaves much to be desired). The engagement-farming age has passed Flickr by.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I've been using Pixelfed since I heard of it at least a year ago (maybe more?). I've loved it.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Just came across pixelfed and it’s so cool. Unfortunately, the IOS beta is full. Any update when more spots will open up? I really want to try it.

@[email protected] @[email protected] trying to understand what makes pixelfed different from Mastodon (as a user, not the underlying tech). If I get the pixelfed app but I only follow people on Mastodon, won’t I just see a Twitter-like feed?

@[email protected] @[email protected] Do you have a resource for me I can use when touting the Fediverse and it's apps that would help answer questions like "who pays for it all?", "How sustainable is it", "how secure is it?", "who has access to my stuff?"
Some of these questions might seem silly, like the last one, but these are the questions that come up from people I'm trying to bring on board.

@[email protected] @[email protected] BeReal is a good photo sharing platform: press X to doubt

That's exactly why I love using PixelFed: it doesn't see you as the product. We all together create this wonderful platform, and at least I don't have to deal with this tracker abomination.

@[email protected] if any of those services started federating, but remained closed source, would that change your opinion?

I ask because I’m working on something that is closed source, but will begin beta testing federation next week 😊

I love the platform, but can’t upload RAW images, its the file size limit issue I think.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I love @[email protected]. You're doing such a great job! Keep up the good work @[email protected]
