publishers VS PixelFed

> Why hasn’t it taken off?

I wish it would gain more website adoption because it works well to tip contents creators and is convenient for me as a consumer.

Maybe someone tipped you on Brave rewards. https://creators.brave.com/

see https://creators.brave.com/

" Publishers, content creators, and causes verify their channel through https://creators.brave.com and onboard with Uphold or Gemini to accept BAT from Brave users that choose to pay it forward to support the creators of the content they enjoy. "

Do you see any message in your creators.brave.com account that would indicate why it might not be appearing as verified?

Thank ... yes I got an e-mail from Brave today saying exactly the same. Probably the e-mail was sent to too many people ... wow ... thanks for wasting my valuable time. I've been panicking and been trying to do everything for many hours to 'fix' something which was not broken. And now because of this my connection to "Uphold" is lost and can't be restored because creators.brave.com says that my Uphold account is already connected to another creators.brave.com account, but it's NOT ... I'm pretty upset now ...

If you don’t already have a custodial account connected to your Brave Creators account, we encourage you to do it now! You can start by logging in to your Brave Creators account at https://creators.brave.com. If you already have a custodial account connected, then no action is required.

Can you double check if you've ever used another email address for https://creators.brave.com Brave Creators? You can only have your Uphold account connected to 1 Brave Creators account (email address) at once.

A second approach would be to tip it to your own channel at https://creators.brave.com If you get suspended, you can refer to this post, u/M0rqu1ng4, and we'll try to sort it out.

Go to their website and click the BAT icon and send a tip. They're not verified, so they won't get it until they verify @ https://creators.brave.com/

Currently contributing to Pixelfed project to gain experience: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/pulls?q=is%3Aclosed+is%...

I do post many pictures, but I am tempted to self-host Pixelfed as well as an Instagram alternative.

Is something like Pixelfed an option?

https://pixelfed.org

I'm not affiliated with the project, neither I consider it a panacea, but anyone who might be interested, here it is: https://pixelfed.org/ It's best to use the web browser with it, although there's an Android app for it (PixelDroid), and there is an official app for iOS and Android currently in beta.

You can suggest features on the project github https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues

Contrary to initial expectations, Threads falls short in terms of embracing decentralization. Notably, the platform does not support the widely adopted ActivityPub protocol, which is essential for interoperability with other decentralized networks in the Fediverse. This absence prevents seamless interaction between Threads and existing platforms that adhere to decentralized principles, such as Mastodon and Pixelfed.

Fediverse, or 'federated universe' is the name given to the social media platforms that utilize this concept of federation and decentralization. While Lemmy and Mastodon are the most popular right now, there are many similar platforms. There is Peertube for example, which is a Youtube alternative, or Pixelfed, which is an instagram alternative. You can view a list of all such platforms on this site. Here's also a visual representation that might help.
