Good for pixelfed
Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?
Yeah dude me obviously. @mayur@pixelfed.social
Yesterday I revived my old Pixelfed account, and I have set myself a challenge, upload one photo every day for a month.
I have plenty of photos from the last decade to pick from
I don't know if this will mean that my account will be active in the long run, but I'll give it an honest try.
I posted this earlier in the thread:

People share photos and videos all the time on mastodon. What is the difference with pixelfed?
Better UI and a better discover page mainly. Plus it's gotten a lot of organic advertising just from luck and people talking about it, and no obvious competitor like Bluesky

It is simple and free of bloat. I like it much better than that youtube shorts analog I can't remember the name of.
Yeah but pixelfed is coming out with loops, it's been on beta for awhile, that is basically Tik Tok with no ads or government/big tech ownership. I personally feel like that could have taken a giant chunk of the Tik Tok users and kept them from having to learn to read ideograms to access content they wanted. I don't personally use that format of social media but I tried it on Android and it looks just like Tik Tok looked that I have seen on others devices.
The only reason why no company could take over TikTok is their algorithm, its the worst yet the best part of the app, since you only see stuff you like, without having to search for similar accounts. I’ve been feeling lonely on the Fedi compared to other socials

I'm just worried a lack of content discovery, (foss) algorithms, other features and consistent development will have an adverse effect on this new growth. I'm glad that Dan finally got the apps on the stores at a critical moment though or we wouldn't even be here.

Oh you mean people don't like being shouted and cursed at for having a moderate opinion.
you're comparing apples to oranges. Lemmy is for discussions pixelfed is for posting photos.

Everything helps.
No corporations in social media. No venture capital in social media.
It ain't a competition!!!
Plus I see that pixelped crowd can join the shit posters if they so chose?
Win win for fedi
Looks really cool, just discovered something liket his existed.
One question, does LBRY (The protocol powering Odysee) count as something Federated ?
