- Comment on @pixelfed: Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated Using #ActivityPub 2 weeks ago:
Yes and no. Technically yes because the issue seems only to affect pixelfed.social; however, that happens to be the largest instance iirc. And hash tags are not federated, so one of the main features for discovery that is accessed from the landing page is broken (has been for months).
Meanwhile, people are out there talking and reading about this cool federated alternative to instagram called pixelfed, perhaps spending a few minutes browsing the site for the largest instance which also happens to have the word pixelfed in the URL, but as soon as they try interacting with it, they bounce off because they clicked on a hash tag to find other nature photos which resulted in an error. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Is anyone using PixelFed? How is your experience so far? 2 weeks ago:
Hmm… that may be the case on some instances (e.g. pixelfed.social), but I know it’s not required on others because I’ve tested it on several instances without registering. The only one it breaks on is pixelfed.social, which unfortunately is also the largest instance.

It’s a cool concept, but not quite production ready yet. It’ll be much more viable once the explore/discover pages and hash tags are fixed and federated.

Are hash tags working for you? Whenever I click on a hash tag, it takes me to a missing page.

Except that it isn’t federated, but otherwise, yeah.

Much respect for the creator of Pixelfed but please fix the Explore page first!

How do I know if I’m using data 3.2/3.3 vs something else?
I have one of these in the 8 TB variant that I use for backup purposes, and I plug it into one of those USB docks, like this one.

- Comment on My change to the Fediversa 2 months ago:
I’ve been on Lemmy for a few months now and am really enjoying it. I think I’ll stay.
I’ve also been thinking about starting a Pixelfed account so I can share some photos I’ve taken recently. In my poking around the last few days, my first impression is that the bones are there, but it’s still rough around the edges. For example, clicking a hashtag in a photo caption to browse all photos with that hashtag is currently broken on the largest Pixelfed instance, and even on the smaller instances, browsing hashtags doesn’t appear to be federated, so there’s basically no way to discover photos of a certain hashtag or for others to discover my photos. Not that hash tags are the most important thing, but kind of a bummer from a discoverability standpoint. I may bite the bullet and sign up anyway, we’ll see.

How is audio different from other media types (e.g. images, videos, etc) that it isn’t / couldn’t be supported by activity pub?

Well, they’re “purchases” of a license that can be revoked at any time for any reason.
