Can't wait for the culture clash between Lemmy and Pixelfed π
The more variety the better we are as a social network.
Oh yeah, I'm just not sure how the two groups will interact. Wait until hardcore FOSS defenders learn that the majority of Pixelfed users have iPhones
For an end user iphones arnt that bad tbh just expensive. Says me running the superior GrapheneOS tho.
"not that bad" β a very comfortable and well-decorated prison. But you can't blame pixelfed for every poor choice its users might make in their lives.
A very particular type of prison too
They're user-hostile from the top down. They've gone to great lengths to ensure they're not repairable. They're responsible for basically all the anti-consumer hardware trends that eventually bleed across the entire industry. And you can only install apps that Apple has put their little rubber stamp on after paying $100/year for the privilege of publishing apps on their platform.
Ahh I'd never get one for myself. But for the people who don't care about freedom, ownership, and money its great.
@muntedcrocodile @Blaze There will be no culture clash: Lemmy communities are already compatible with Pixelfed accounts
Does modding work across PF - Lemmy?
I'm on both; really enjoying the art sharing community vibe of PixelFed rather than the constant influencer attention seeking shower of IG.
From what I can tell, the culture on pixelfed is more chill, whimsical, artsy.
While lemmy is more technical, politicsy, confrontational etc?
I havenβt been much on PixelFed since the massive explosion in users though.
I think pixelfed communities would be a big boon to non-computer science/engineering type hobby communities. Which is a place in which lemmy majorly lacks. So good news imo.
Yeah, agreed. More content in these fields will help attract and retain more casual users on Lemmy.
oh never seen feddit.nu instance before? What region is it for?
It's... complicated. It was originally issued for the Polynesian island Niue, but it's currently controlled by the Internet Foundation in Sweden. There are a lot of Swedish sites using it since "nu" means "now" in Swedish. Feddit.nu is the primary Swedish Lemmy instance since Feddit.se was registered but abandoned.
Interesting. Thanks for the background.
Sweden
Because its root is ~Marxist techies, I think it takes many newbies by surprise and is not super enjoyable for the average user.
There's a lot of the same people on both. Like me!
Healthy for Lemmy, totally catastrophic for Pixelfed.
How so?
Lemmy could pop their bubble of peace with politics and confrontation.
