It's mostly just media first but there are a few features that don't federate. Portfolios and stories are exclusive to pixelfed. And even if you just want to scroll a bunch of photos there just isn't a better way. They have the best Fediverse app I've ever used and the experience is great because it was designed specifically for that purpose.

Not that there's anything wrong with not seeing the appeal. The best thing about the Fediverse is that you can just be wherever you want. So you can post on Mastodon and follow whoever you want on Pixelfed too without having to make another account.

I chose my instance because of the admin (Stux). Basically, I knew that I could trust that it would be well run and have great moderation standards. It's a small server for now and pretty sleepy. Most of my subscriptions are from lemmy.world and a few other larger servers but it doesn't matter. I guess "local" might be less useful but that doesn't bother me. I can say that, over the two weeks I've been here, I haven't experienced any sort of performance issues or downtime.

The one case where I could see it being important is creating new communities -- it's probably more likely to have one take off on a larger server.

No problem! Cheers :)

FediDB tracks server software across the Fediverse. They track activity and overall 'market share,' which I think is what you're looking for.

They're also tracking the Threadiverse specifically.

“Basically, our revenue is cut in half because we didn’t toe the line,” he said, gun in hand, feet shot to bloody stumps.

@[email protected] Any chance we could get an upgrade to wefwef (now voyager)? Looks like they've added some cool features in the last week :)

There's no objective metric at all. It was really just the most important economic allies of the US in 1975.

The G20 was partially founded in response to criticism that 7 countries were making economic decisions for the world. The G7 chose who was invited to join. Indonesia and the Philippines are both kind of members (permanent invitees) through ASEAN.

It basically means that but they are formal, static groups. The group composition doesn't change based on rankings. Russia was invited into the G7 in the late 90s (and it became the G8) then formally expelled when they invaded Crimea in 2014.
