Also the bricks are great, thanks. Made my day.

WOW! https://www.epilogue.co/product/gb-operator looks awesome.

It has front ends but it’s inbuilt.

Oh yeah filters! They are a thing. Works pretty well on piefed.

Yeah its totally my setup! I had some issues with openAI and amazon just slamming my servers so had to make it harder for them to get content.

oh wait that may not work for you on my server, I made it auth protected woops!

It works but im on the phone…so im going to leave it for now. But yeah it works.

Yep works both ways.

If you want to try it out: Pixelfed to other services:

It shows up in:

• Mastodon: https://social.rootaccess.org/@michaelc@photos.chrisco.me/114114045115285962

Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/114122668582152347

And here it is in pixelfed: https://photos.chrisco.me/i/web/post/803734298035587039

I like feedme.

Pixelfed federation works well. it shows up on anything activityhub related.

Works closer to mastodon with hashtags.

That’s a very good question. I don’t have a good answer ATM. I have both because I’m on the fence.

Lemmy and piefed both scratch the topic discovery itch. Both are excellent software.

Piefed pros:

1. Topics (collection of communities) are awesome to subscribe to.
2. One of the best fediverse integrations out there.
3. The python is easy to read.
4. Mod tools are great.
5. The main dev is a treasure

Lemmy pros:

1. Very reddit like UI.
2. Lots of apps phone or otherwise.
3. Very well supported by admins of the bigger instances

Lemmy has an easier way to post than piefed. The selection of communities is a bit better. Piefed is much easier to stand up on home servers (I did it once). It’s also seeing a large amount of dev work right now. And as I’ve said before it has much better fediverse integration than Lemmy. Lemmy has this issue where it’s hard to federate with other services, even when you search using the search tool.

Bookwyrm is awesome :)

Piefed /Lemmy for keeping up with topics.

GoToSocial for keeping up with people and how they are going.

Pixelfed for my dog pictures and other people’s pets.

Peertube mostly for my family (dog or otherwise) videos.and subscriptions. I have around 40 now :)

Other than Lemmy/piefed, I self host everything on a very small server. It’s fun if you like that kinda thing.

Wonder if they want to track all phones with a different system.

It so nice to be able to edit titles.

Imagine being on a platform that doesn’t allow you to do that ;)

I think it’s just that reddit looks like everything else now (Pinterest/Instagram/ect) with their UI so the general public expects certain elements to do certain things. They don’t remember the old interface nor the free-wheeling link madness reddit had in the beginning.

Reddit only became popular relatively recently.

I think instead of telling people what Lemmy is in words, maybe just give them a link and let them decide.

Who cares what “instance” they land on or the “correct” way of doing activityhub. Let them go down the rabbit hole if they want to. Just give them an in.

For the longest time, reddit got popular despite its UI (that I grew to love as old.reddit). Let them explore a bit and point them over to a front page. Just my 2 cents.

I think your right as well. Most manufacturers don’t actively go after such projects unless they hit the bottom line.

Notable exceptions are old licenced games that may hit rerelease and someone came up with a way to decomp it. The policies are all over the place.

Oh great!

Yep and you can dictate the sync time. It’s great.

We are literally in a thread about a takedown in GH. But if you go to other sites, they have the repo up.

Suyu, Nuzu, Uzuy, Torzu, and Sudachi have all been taken down. Youtube-dl got taken down until public outcry. The number of takedowns since 2022 have only increased over the years. 2024 being the highest amount.

I’m glad the repos above are not yet being taken down, I truly am. But GitHub is just Microsoft at the end of the day.

We are also on platforms (Lemmy/piefed) that have chosen codeberg over GitHub for their main git hosting.
