Project mention: A Critique of Cara.app: The 'No AI' Instagram and Artstation Copycat Child | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-07The conclusion makes the point of view developed in the post quite clear:
> Do we all collectively need the same cycle of honeymoon then toxic relationship over and over? Couldn't we just move away from proprietary social media once and for all?
The author strongly suggests artists in want of an Instagram alternative to try out Pixelfed, the fediverse alternative: https://pixelfed.org/.
You might want to look into some of the Facebook-like open-source social networking programs like Friendica, Hubzilla, Libervia, or GNU Social
Project mention: Ask HN: Which Lemmy communities and instances are you visiting daily? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-31One will notice the regrettable duplication in that list, and it's (AFAIK) a massive unsolved problem in the Fediverse. My mental model is that Lemmy is exactly like signing up to mailing lists but where one can also upvote and downvote posts (err, some instances don't allow downvotes, so there's that). That means that folks who want the most coverage for their submission will post it to every one of the duplicated mailing lists, which results in their own message-id along with their own threaded replies and upvote/downvote scores. Some folks have proposed using the link-url and subject for deduplicating them, but I believe it's just a proposal from the client side and the servers will do no such thing (although running your own instance hypothetically would allow for such customization)
There's also https://kbin.pub which is its own ActivityPub implementation and behaves a little different from Lemmy, I'm sure with good and bad parts. IIRC there's some federation drama between Kbin and some Lemmy instances, and (AFAIK) Kbin does not have any mobile apps whereas there are currently several which speak the Lemmy API. I'd credit it with "first mover effect" more than one being objectively better than the other
I do hope Lemmy catches on and siphons users off of Reddit because the rug-pull from Reddit was a trust-breaking middle finger, IMHO. I wished the same thing for Mastodon, too, but I think the inertia is just too strong with X
Project mention: Friendica is a great Swiss army knife for the Fediverse that can also double as a Reddit alternative | /r/RedditAlternatives | 2023-07-03Servers can also install various addons which add extra functionality. From various protocols (you can even crosspost to Tumblr!) to things like a language filter or collapsing posts if they contain certain words - there's a lot of functionality in them.
