Unfortunately that doesn’t work in lw

In some countries with vpn blocking it’s the only way to get videos. there’s also a lot of instances that don’t federate. The default English relays are quite bad for English speakers but in French for example there’s a huge amount of content.

yeah its working well for me.

Thats what I bet will happen. Elon is the “fellow kids” meme in a nutshell. He bought an entire platform to look cool, only to make the platform itself stale and broken. I feel bad for the employees that will have that on their resume (or laid off) but what can you do?

At least blue sky has the bridge. It kinda works. I will still be using mastodon/Gotosocial but to others they can use whatever platform they want to talk to me. Including family.

I’m fine with it. We don’t need to be the most popular, we just need to be there consistently.

People continue to come over slowly and then they keep engaging. It’s not fizzing out so it’s been very nice.

Its all good, any good examples of this specific link? I can see some old posts from the user but nothing recent on ANY lemmy instance. So you earier comment may be correct.

Its active in the non-english circles from what I hear. Probably a part of it.

I thought I could do that on other lemmy instances?"

I can see: https://lemmy.world/u/atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org for example, it just isnt pulling anything new.

and nothing but you can see the user here: https://piefed.social/u/atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org

Actually I believe you can use Mastodon as the login in this case: https://pixelfed.blog/p/2023/feature/introducing-sign-in-with-mastodon-streamlining-sign-up-and-login-on-pixelfed

Also does anyone know how to get the post into lemmy? Im having issues importing other fediverse posts so I had to direct link. I would rather the owner of the post get recognition and likes/shares show up in mastodon/activityhub rather than just a static link on lemmy if possible.

For example on mastodon/pixelfed/etc… I can pull the remote url and create a post/share. It seems specific to lemmy.world. On other lemmy platforms, I can see posts, just older ones.

Its nice right now…Hope it stays.

Yeah honestly the biggest change between pixelfed and mastodon is the UI. Its a very Instagram like, but simplified (at least at the moment).

Mastodon technically has more “features” but at the end of the day, it all about how people want to interact with their socials.

My dog. no really, hes a good boy.

And I follow one of the people from an Aquarium with fantastic shots.

“compete” is a strong word. They can see us and we can see them. People are already posting from pixelfed to lemmy so its just pushing both platforms forward.

I want frontend to be easy again. Im tried of spinning up yet another frontend that will die of complexity hell in 2 or less years…

YouTube is now showing nothing but (tr)ump stuff…I have not looked at dump stuff on YouTube. It’s all positive on him too.

My wife just checked. Its now showing some pretty heinous things on the demo crat side…I dont think prior to the election that would have been tolerated. They definitely changed the “algorithm”.

Its all good!

We are too small to be fighting TBH.

Its only southern thank god. Most of us are still ok.

Ashes tend to go up so that is partially what you are seeing.
