Don’t forget about piefed it’s amazing and lets you subscribe to posts and/or comments. Theres someone who contributed Lemmy API compatibility to use some Lemmy apps with Piefed instances. Its still very early but so far its extremely promising and the codebase is in python and the main developer is focused on ensuring it wasy to contribute. Check it out: https://piefed.social
Code is on codeberg which is great too https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi
It’s long and confusing imo. I really don’t like banes that include the tech in the name. I dont want to use a platform that only wants to attract tech nerds like me i want people who know things about things i know little or nothing about too. Even a completely irrelevant name like Lemmy is great because it’s short, easy to spell, easy to remember, and is appealing to anyone.
Stuff like forgejo, pixelfed, etc aren’t memorable or convenient. I understand it’s “federated pixels” but i still don’t like it
6 years of development and it’s still not on the App Store. The sole developer is also working on a whatsapp alternative, a tiktok alternative, and fediverse database api. Pixelfed wont ever compete with instagram like this, and the name doesnt help.
After facebook changed their TOS to allow them to train their ai on peoples pictures the instagram style app Cara became the 5th most popular app and gained 300,000 users in a week. Not a single person has heard of or moved to pixelfed during this.
We and the pixelfed developer should be helping Cara integrate activitypub and open source their app so the pixelfed developer can focus on one project instead of 4
Is it opwn source? Would love to see it on mastodon and other apps
Is this an app or front end?
What software does the wiki use? Being able to sign in with our lemmy accounts is really cool
Wow this seems great and really well presented!
Keep making open source projects words no one can pronounce or spell. I love using stuff no one uses… glad it’s being worked on but wow it’s like a battle to name things confusing sets of letters
I think once theres apps it will get a lot of growth
