My boyfriend was using Pixelfed for months before he found out about the local/network timelines. He doesn't understand the point, and told me I should make it easier to discover accounts and content. Not everyone uses these platforms the same, and I wouldn't be surprised if most people never check local or network timelines.

 @dansup it would be nice if the other timelines were kept even if they were tucked away in an "advanced" section of a hamburger menu to keep the UI simpler but still accessible. My instance is very small so my local timeline is obviously very boring but I check it daily because I'd miss what my locals are saying among all the stuff on home from all my follows. Conversely I check my federated timeline to see what interesting stuff my locals are following. The vibe here is very different! @dansup Not everyone on *large* timelines do Small instances thrive on the local TL. It's basically the only way you find new users on those instances Even on web, there's the "Discover users" and "See what's happening" links so the idea that they won't get used on apps is mistaken at best, misleading at worst But the missing audio port on smartphones, when prominent players do something, it has an influence on other players. Not always for the better  Interesting to see the reactions to the official Mastodon app. I didn't expect to see resignation petitions. Wonder what effect this will have on other projects regarding official apps.

 I was planning to make an official Android app for Smithereen. Because, well, I am an Android developer after all.

@dansup I had a chance to purchase an Apple computer recently and I just didn’t know. It was an after thought to purchase an iPhone and now I see I also needed the MacBook, AirPods, and Watch too.😓 The intention was to purchase a Pixel and I’m happy to have the SE instead. Federating :pixelfed: licenses would be neat, don't think any other implementation does this yet. As someone who extended ActivityPub way too much... Just go at it. Add a field in your own namespace. By the way, I found a bug in your @context. That part should actually be   Good Morning! :blobcatcoffee: My AirTags finally arrived, I didn't know they can play a sound to help locate them. That is so cool! @dansup They have changed my life. I lose my keys so often now I don't have to think about where they are at all

  I don't think we'll see a federated Clubhouse or TikTok anytime soon. The correlation between ease of content creation and the success of federated projects is clear, low-effort mediums like text or photos are much easier to participate in than others.

"The correlation between ease of content creation and the success of federated projects suggests low-effort platforms proliferate" or "Any organization that designs a system of user generated content will produce a design whose success can be correlated to the effort required for that medium" ~ dansup's law  Wow, just noticed how many users joined https://pixelfed.social in the last 30 days. It's not listed on the instance picker, I wonder where they heard about it. I have already heard from some people that they have seen my acrylic paintings and have therefore registered on pixelfed.social

@dansup @jaranta @mondstern @Scofield hahaha not sure if that was a joke but it is listed on fedi database as first choice so doesn't seem fair 😋 Ordered a computer desk for my office! Been working at the kitchen table for months and we have a few spare rooms so I figured its time. I'm really excited to have my own space, my partner is an interior designer and will not let me hang up my Frank Ocean posters in the living room so this is a good compromise 😅  I feel like spam has been increasing on the #fediverse as of recent. This is causing some backlogged queues as #pixelfed processes federated deletes in the same queue as other activities. Thinking of moving Deletes to a separate queue, should reduce the federation lag in larger :pixelfed: instances. #pixeldev It's interesting to see different implementation approaches. I process Deletes, and most other activities, immediately. Though it would probably mean that a busy enough instance could run out of threads in the thread pool... |
