Just passing through. 🮲🮳
If youre still posting on Pixelfed maybe you could try following @[email protected], and ask people to follow you on Bluesky. That’s a bit more familiar, and you might have a better change at their algorithm than that of Instagram.
I don’t really have a real answer, sorry. Good luck!
In other news, PieFed is open for donations here. The price of a coffee every month would constitute a pretty significant increase in donations.
Terence Eden just wants as many people as possible to read what he writes with as much ease as possible, so he federates the full content. 404 Media wants people to visit their site, and some of the content is behind a paywall, so they keep the content on site. Different needs. Not very complicated.
Not necessarily, no - it depends on how it is federated, and I believe the settings of the Mastodon instance. For example @[email protected] federates blog posts in full length, while @[email protected] based on Ghost only gives a lead paragraph.
I guess the consequence of this is that you won’t have many followers on Pixelfed.
Occasionally photographers on Mastodon I follow from Pixelfed will post things I don’t care much about, but at least I get to see their pictures without having to see their text posts in which I have little to no interest.
Then you probably should have double checked before signing up to an e-mail server dedicated to “Explore + Share beautiful e-mails without the letter P in them”. Pixelfed is extremely open about being a picture platform.
Well, Mastodon will show everything in the feed, no matter if it’s a video, a short blog, a long blog, a picture, a podcast, whatever. Mastodon is (primarily) microblogging in terms of output, but an everything platform with a chronological feed in terms of input.
This is where this user seems to get confused - they expect everything on the fediverse to display every type of content, just like Mastodon strives to do. Which is, as you said, ridiculous. If PixelFed was to display audio content and Funkwhale was to display pictures, what would be the point of these services in the first place? If they want everything to be Mastodon, why don’t they just stick to Mastodon? Maybe Pixelfed users have no interest in reading their dumb blog posts?
A Company that Makes Everything… And then scraps it for tax write-off.
Happy this will be making it to cinemas after all. Hopefully it’ll be a labour of love. The fact that corporate clearly didn’t care about it gives me hope.
I can’t imagine how stressful it must have been to have a small hobby project you’re devekoping for fun and then suddenly get the insane amount of traffic from the Reddit exodus over night without having been able to prepare for it at all. I was low key worried we killed him with stress.
Happy that’s not the case.
“I’m not even a nazi, but it sure is nice to see the fascists marching in the streets as a demonstration that free speech is truly alive and well”
Bingo. Had some weird stuff happening to the YouTube link.

You can have this one for free.
Still a pretty big hurdle for most bots that just aimlessly flow through the webs trying to sign up for things. I don’t think anyone will bother tailoring their bot for europe.pub.
Putting the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy between the question and the answer field might further confuse LLM outputs. :)
Colbert doesn’t want solutions to anything. He wants problems to make fun of.
You do realize the man is a comedian? Making fun of problems is kinda his job description.
The rendering engineer working on Zootopia 2 is on Mastodon, at @[email protected].
It’s a pretty neat follow, and has made me somewhat excited about this movie despite having lukewarm feelings towards Disney (at best). It seems a lot of love is going into it.
Luigi singled out one incredibly evil man and dealt with him. This guy shot one random CEO seemingly by accident, as well as some random people.
Kill five random people in the NYC financial district and chances are at least a couple will be deplorable. That doesn’t make you a vigilante.
Yeah, the media is not suppressing some working class hero story here. It’s just a man who lost his marbles.
At first I only read that it was a building housing finance institutions, so I figured he had probably just snapped and figured he’d attack the world of finance. So crazy, but driven by the state of everything rather than by some random sports career.
I didn’t see that it also housed the NFL. Makes the Football story a lot more plausible. So the CEO might indeed just have been a random bystander like anyone else at the scene.
In either case it’s obviously not a defendable of constructive thing to do, I just speculated that maybe there’s bigger things in America to lose your mind over than football. Maybe I was wrong.
In either case it’s a reflection of the mental health crisis.
Man, the entitlement. Especially coming from the only person I know of who is here with the explicit goal of monetizing the platform.
There’s a way of voicing concerns and criticisms in a way that is constructive, helpful, and in good faith, inviting to an open discussion with concerned parties. Yours is not that.
