Hello?


Not seeing my posts show up on Fediverse...
in reply to Andy Rush

@andyrush AFAIK, content published by an user from the instance A only shows on the instance B when at least one user from the instance B follows them. At least, it was what I experienced when trying to see my own content across instances. I needed to search for myself and follow myself on the other instance, only then my posts started to show up on the public feed from the other instance.


All the Fediverses


So far I'm using Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Friendica, WordPress with ActivityPub plugin (many instances of this), and micro.blog. There are an awful lot of Andy Rush accounts out there :)


New Post


As always when you join a new social network, you do a test post. This one is from Friendica, the Fediverse version of, well, let's just say that it's run by a guy with a last name that rhymes with Duckerberg. Anyway, here I am with yet another federated account!

Trying out a new #Fediverse app each day (Day 2)


Today's app is pixelfed.social, a fediverse alternative to Instagram

Pros: I have only been using pixelfed for a couple of days, but with a limit of 20 images and videos per post, it seems to do just about everything I would normally use Instagram for. Content discovery is decent with a Discover feed, but it obviously needs more users.

Cons: The site is a bit slow to load/reload and lacks the ability to "like" or comment on a post without clicking on it to open it into its own page. Oftentimes you must scroll to get to the "like" button and comments.

Overall Score: 5 out of 10, but there is a lot of potential there!
