1st Feb is #GlobalSwitchDay
-
But it's the same platform! They all interoperate!
I understand, but most of us are here from the efforts of all those who built Lemmy and it was deliberately left off here as an alternative

Today the first of Feb is Global Switch day, Spread awareness of the Fediverse in your communities.
Loops is mid. The community is pretty inactive, and the iOS build is quite buggy and lacking.
-
I've never used it but apparently people like it, but it's got some pretty interesting development choices, I'll just leave it like that.
-
What about streaming?
Like a twitch alternative?

Lol, posting Piefed as an alternative to reddit to Lemmy...
Also, PeerTube is super obtuse to get an account and has almost no reach. You almost have to personally know someone who has a server or host your own. There's a reason why video hosting has gotten so corporatized: it's expensive. That said, almost "no one" used Mastodon for nearly a decade and it's finally starting to take off, so maybe it just needs another decade or two.

What's a good peertube instance that federates with a lot? I tried tldvids but its got like 2 regular uploaders and i cant find most channels I search for.

It's honestly bonkers to have a community hosted on Lemmy this hostile to Lemmy as software and the developers.
Is this bait? There is hardly any hostility here towards the software and the Lemmy devs want to push the world towards being an authoritarian hellscape. If anything they dont get enough shit.

It only released onto the AppStore 3 days ago. I’d argue they deserve some time to get it right.

Demonstrably true. Try saying anything contrary to a tankie talking point on .ml and see how long before you get banned. May I suggest “Russia was wrong for invading Ukraine” for starters, or “China committed unjustifiable atrocities against peaceful protestors”.

that's peertube too
-
It's like Lemmy, but it can interact with Mastodon and has some other features that Lemmy lacks. It's pretty cool, only reason I don't use more often it is I'm happy on my instance otherwise I would swap in an instant.

The user is from .ml, it's a bad-faith post imo.

You're replying to one of the Lemmy devs. Hearing them say it's not true when they literally run .ml as a tankie community is hilarious.
-
This comm is often full of comments pushing lemmy alternatives, with PieFed being the new frontrunner.
You'd think the post here would include Lemmy, which I believe is still the most active platform
People on Lemmy don't need to be told about Lemmy though?

Owncast but PeerTube also has live streaming.

A lot of people hesitate to promote lemmy because of how transphobic / authoritarian the lead devs are. It's unfortunate, but if you're concerned about that then piefed really is the more attractive option (I like my comment history too much to have switched yet but... man, it's getting hard to justify not having done it.)

Piefed sometimes makes it hard to interoperate: https://communick.news/comment/8015757

Also piefed violates basic compatibility in fediverse: https://communick.news/comment/8015757
That's actually some very interesting discussion down there.

I'm sorry but the default Lemmy UI is objectively bad, it breaks so many UX principles.
Photon is good, but go to Lemmy.world and it looks like a website built in the early 90's
If it looks like anything of the past then it looks like the web from 10-15 years ago pre-mass-enshittification, maybe people have forgotten what non user hostile websites look like.
Photon has infinite scrolling, which is horrible.

Yes there's been enshitification, but not everything has gotten worse.
UI's are much better than the past.Why is infinite scrolling a bad UX? It saves the user from clicking next-page
You could argue that it's dark-ux, but it's not bad-ux
