Voyager should be on there.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago

That’s what I use but it’s just one of the several way to access Lemmy which is the first app shown.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Nope. Preference should not be made.

Maybe. But it's probably more important to start with Lemmy than which app to use.

What’s the most “mainstream” peertube instance? All I’ve seen is niche gaming stuff. Is there an instance that is more of a youtube replacement?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Really? I just installed it and all I see is news in French. When I try to add more "platforms", it tells me that I need to choose a platform first, but doesn't give me any options. It's like it just expects me to figure that out on my own. Very unintitive.

She has been a good evangelist for the fediverse, IMO, based on my reading of her posts on Mastodon the last couple months.

loops doesnt federate. why is it there?

no mbin (interstellar)?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because it's brand new and will eventually federate. The developer is deep in the fediverse so 100% it will

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But right now it doesn't....

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's really not a technicality to get worked up about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I disagree. Anybody that joins Loops right now is forced to the one instance. That's not federation. That's not an issue for you. Which is valid. But you don't get to police those who don't share your view.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Nobody is "policing" anyone, I just don't think it's a valid argument.

They've done federation on a few test posts, but it's definitely not there yet for normal users to use.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My understanding is that it will when it’s more strange and that the dev did the same thing with Pixelfed.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (3 children)

im a big fan of not marketing your product until it can do the things you intend. theyve been spamming loops everywhere for over 6 months.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's also very featureless. Basically videos, comments, likes. I'm on it, and I've opened it maybe 6x in 2 weeks? I also think it's just an open feed; all the videos posted in chronological order (but I could be wrong here). Idk if this goes against the Fediverse creed to have an algorithm-fed feed, but I think part of the nature of these short form, endless-scrolling apps is finding vids about your interests from new places.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think we should ultimately support algorithm feeds, but they should be free and open algorithms that can be peer reviewed, and also maybe give the users some control over which algorithm is applied and how. The problem with current social algorithms is they operate in the dark and are manipulative, not that they provide relevant content to users.

Well Microsoft has been doing it for 30 years.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

With the Tiktok ban I think marketing it prematurely has been a good thing and introduced a number of people from that world into the fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Peertube, a voyeurism site for vids of people peering in through window curtains? :P

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Nah, it's a torrent client.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Am I the only one who is bothered by this pic. It looks so fake and photoshopped.

Maybe it’s because my phone has weird contrast settings for accessibility.

Obviously I think whoever made this pic has great intentions and it’ll definitely be good enough for an article banner or something which is what it’s most likely to be used for.

Here is Elena's message on mastodon about it: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113899740641675793 I guess you can always provide some feedback!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah I’m not gonna dunk on her effort. I’m glad she made it. Don’t wanna be a downer to her.

But it just looks off to me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

If you have constructive feedback, it seems like the photographer is open to it. It's not dunking on anyone to say "hey great work and cool idea, just so you know the image looks a little "off" on my screen, possibly due to my accessibility settings, which are blah blah blah... hope this helps, thanks for the great work!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah it's a bad composite, not just you.
