MODERATORS
SPLITTERS!
yay i guess?
What are the top 2? Mastodon and what else?
Misskey seems really popular looking at numbers. I'm confused because nobody talks about it. Is it because of some niche super active audience?
It's big in Japan. Most of the servers are Japanese.
Its active in the non-english circles from what I hear. Probably a part of it.

@atomicpoet just FYI. I couldnt figure out how to get the post directly in lemmy.world but thought I would mention it for you.

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.
That’s the neat part! Lemmy.world doesn’t allow that😂😂😂. Best bet to move over to another instance if you like that type of integration.
Edited for misinterpretation
I thought I could do that on other lemmy instances?"
I can see: https://lemmy.world/u/[email protected] for example, it just isnt pulling anything new.
and nothing but you can see the user here: https://piefed.social/u/[email protected]
Edited, apologies
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.
Yes, https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-4-lemmy-piefed-mbin/
Go down to the section where it discusses interoperability, came across this as I was trying to understand and learn which software I should use for my own server/instance
It ain't a competition!!!
Plus I see that pixelped crowd can join the shit posters if they so chose?
Win win for fedi
People like looking at photos of food and cats more than being railed for having "incorrect* political viewpoints? (/s for anyone not picking up on that btw:-P)
How dare you!! Here's why you need to be vegan right now by the way grumble grumble grumble

I literally just got called a snowflake in another thread for saying people should stop posting US politics in general communities. People still wonder why Lemmy has a bad reputation even in the entire Fediverse... Sometimes I wonder why I still bother here.
Yeah, that's definitely a shame. Let's see how it goes, but I'm about to create a !usdefaultism somewhere just to list those occurrences

I guess I am a snowflake too then, bc to me consent should matter. And while the USA is a part of the world, and also has an oversized effect upon it due to the size of the economy and trade deals and the like, it also can be overwhelming for some, who feel ostracized and left out as if only the big guys (and guns) matter.
But on the other hand, it is known that moderation sucks across the vast majority of Lemmy - it's somewhat baked right into the tools themselves, e.g. removing whole posts rather than merely taking them out of the community lists but allowing people to continue their discussions already begun, as Reddit does.
So you may want to take it upon yourself to either start blocking by keywords (maybe find an app that allows that - I'm not sure which ones), or user accounts that do that, or even find a better community to engage with.
Though I agree with your conclusion: I no longer recommend Lemmy to people irl by virtue of having been burned by that far too many times before. We're toxic AF in this Alt-Left (rather than Alt-Right) "Nazi bar" space, and a lot of the people here are legit those banned from Reddit for exactly that behavior.
I’m also a snowflake, cause it’s also annoying that people assume you’re from USA.

Moderation isn't ideal, but absent moderators aren't going to moderate even with the best tools

It is your fault President Musk got elected, shitlord!!!!
Its nice right now...Hope it stays.
So they really want to compete then? 🧐
I wouldn’t say it was competing, it would be like saying Reddit and Instagram competed.

They will join us once the long promised groups implementation is finally merged in Pixelfed.
It has definitely been long promised
"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.
Is it like with Mastodon? Do I need a separate account to use Pixelfed well?
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
I wouldnt be into anything like Instagram so it would hardly be interchangeable with something like Lemmy (Reddit) for me. If they get more people turned on to the Fediverse than sweet
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.
Hos their onboarding experience? I get the feeling onbording is in the top issues that are said to be why people are less inclined to sign up
If you look at monthly active users instead of total users, Pixelfed is a strong 2nd place.
ikr lemmy has a little over 40k active users. If you look at the first data point just as the slope starts to rise, that's where lemmy is by comparison:
Total users is pretty meaningless bc it includes things like users who left and will never return, and bot accounts.
What are you guys posting pictures of over on pixelfed? What's goin' on over there that's so popular? Is it more politics, and social issues? Or is it cats?
From what I have found, its almost all photos of animals and nature. Honestly I am kinda disappointed. I want memes. I also got onto Loops and that is also mostly animals and nature, but with the very occasional funny.
Everything. It’s like early days Instagram, but people are more politically and socially aware, and posting about those things.
Crazy enough. People are posting what they were posting on instagram.

There's a sudden influx of users from instagram and tiktok and whatnot because of the ban, zuckerberg fellating Trump, and all of that stuff going on. So the answer to "What's getting posted?" is "everything"
