i would have the entire internet go back to being protocols instead of proprietary platforms
I’d rather we just ditch algorithms and go back to it being random/chronological feeds.
I wish algorithms were opt-in, transparent, and allowed choice (whether by choosing an algorithm over another, or customizing parameters).
If this were the case, I’d have no issue with algos.
I just want more things on Peertube.
I really want to love peertube and use it but the transition is hard. I feel bad for “wasting” server space and compute and when I view the video on peertube I’m making my favorite creators gain less traction on YouTube which directly affects their income and growth.
Honestly, I’m murdering the productivity of every channel I watch anyways with uBlock origin and sponsorBlock, so I don’t think it’d be much worse
Some of them can be supported through Patreon and they’re getting way more money than through YouTube.
But it’s through that it lacks content and it’s also difficult to find content on peertube.
I would give so much money to Patreons if I wasn’t broke myself 😅
Give what you can and if you can’t it’s also okay.
I’m only giving 1$ a month to the Linux Experiment, but, according to him, that’s way more than what he would get from me watching his videos on YouTube.
I’m also donating 100$ a year to many open source projects, but I might have to give up because of financial troubles too…
it’s also difficult to find content on peertube.
PeerTube has a search engine : https://sepiasearch.org Does that not work well ?
It needs a recommendation algorithm. Search is simply not enough to find videos you may like.
Search would be enough if it had the content library of YouTube.
I still have to really try it, but last time I typed « PlayStation » and there was almost no result…maybe it’s just the lack of content though…
PlayStation
Hmm, I’ve tried, 251 results found: 244 videos
I was talking about channels, reviewing games and so on.
Not the odd homemade video…
Something that you could follow long term to keep being informed, like IGN or gamespot for instance.
but last time I typed « PlayStation » and there was almost no result…maybe it’s just the lack of content though…
Thanks for the heads up ;-)
I agree, peer tube’s biggest issues so far besides the storage or the fact that there are almost no peer tube servers which offer user accounts (which isn’t needed explicitly to watch videos but makes the experience much better), and also the fact that there aren’t really any good apps to use it with that aren’t outdated or abandoned.
All of em, really. I don’t see much of a reason why the vast majority of platforms wouldn’t benefit from it, except for maybe an argument around it allowing the creation of larger and larger echo chambers, but that’s probably fine as long as it’s managed to only be to a certain degree.
The only thing that keeps me tied to any Meta platform is the Facebook marketplace. It is the de facto method of buying and selling used goods in a sustainable fashion.
If there was any alternative, especially a federated one, I’d switch over in a heartbeat.
ArchiveOfOurOwn
I would love this so much, I looked around to see if anyone had opened an official issue for that yet, but I saw nothing on their Jira
I wish they had an official presence in the Fediverse.
I kind of miss seeing the tweets on the homepage and think to myself that Mastodon or one of its forked versions would be the ideal replacement.
@ChasingEnigma@lemmy.world DeviantArt - I like separation between art, literature, and regular status updates, and the ability to group posts in your inbox into folders by who posted them. Or, more realistically, any of the various furry sites that work on a similar model and have less potential for cultural conflict.
LinkedIn.
It’s one of the last social media I have. Benefits outweigh cons, but I still would like to get rid of it
What are the benefits of Linkedin? Ive never seen anyone mention it positively
I do B2B hardware and software projects. I hate sales and advertising but I will post something I’m working on about once a week on my personal LinkedIn. It’s amazing how many customers reference that stuff when I have my first meeting.
I found my latest job there. Some companies tend to mostly post in LinkedIn rather than other job boards. I guess it’s probably country dependent
It can be like Facebook if you don’t know how to use it. It can suck.
But I found all my jobs thanks to this website so I can’t complain.
I’ve never received a job directly from it, but I’ve had prospective employers search my profile.
I’ve been wanting to create this but I don’t have enough experience making federated anything. Which parts of LinkedIn would you want replicated the most?
Just being able to see interesting job posts in my field and area
But if you would like to contribute to Fediverse project, I would say that the current link aggregator options would have more impact:
- if you know Rust: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
- if you know Java: https://github.com/sublinks
- if you know PHP: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/
- if you know Python: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/
So is kbin unofficially dead now?
EDIT: Huh, checked the GitHub repo’s contributions graph … and yea, nothing since the end of last year. Is Ernest ok?
By comparison, mbin has multiple significant contributors … nice to see.
Yes, that’s why I always link Mbin nowadays
Craigslist / Facebook Marketplace
That’s a good one. The photomarket on reddit was the main reason I was hesitant to shut down my account. And eBay is way too expensive and unfair for sellers.
Genealogy sites.
Is there even a genealogy site that is not owned by the Genealogical Mafia i.e. Ancestry? AFAIK WikiTree hasn’t sold out yet.
Strava. Sharing workouts, leader boards with friends, challenging friends on goals. Maybe even badges.
Github
Forgejo?
Gitlab has some federation in experimental phases right now too!
Forgejo having Federation enabled would be great since it would allow people with Codeberg accounts to contribute in self-hosted repos without having to apply or beg for accounts on them just to submit issues and pulls.
They are working on it: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59
It’s been a while though…I hope it’s coming soon.
Forums, facebook groups (but not owned by meta), Letterboxd, Amazon (without amazon)
Lemmy is kinda close to forums and groups. But I do agree I prefer that format over the Reddit-like format.
JellyFin
FBI would arrest jellyfin devs so fast before they can hit the release button.
