[–] 7uWqKj@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That’s because there aren’t any, at least none that could even remotely compete with YouTube.

For things that you're using by yourself, sure, it's doable. However, for content creation, it's pretty hard. Some of those alternatives just don't have the critical mass yet. Maybe it would be an option to do both in parallel for some time before switching completely, but might not work for everybody.

Practical example: I'm a hobbyist photographer. Small timer, less than 1000 followers. My livelihood doesn't depend on this, but I'm still serious about it. I mainly do concerts and sport events (so a lot of things involving other people) and my main outlets are Facebook and Instagram. Switching to something else would mean either 1) that no one will see my work or 2) that people will see my photos on the alternative place, they'll copy them over and they'll still end up on Facebook and Instagram, but this time without my creative control (thus badly cropped and recompressed several times - so even if I pay special attention to those things when publishing by myself, the effort goes down the drain when someone else does it).

Do you really want the world to join here? I don't think you do. A lot of the world is anti trans, anti woke or whatever they want to call it. I'm pretty open minded but the Marxist purists who continuously shout down differing opinions get really old sometimes.

Wtf is piefed? I mean, I'm searching for it now, I've just never heard of it.

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

I've never used it but apparently people like it, but it's got some pretty interesting development choices, I'll just leave it like that.

It's like Lemmy, but it can interact with Mastodon and has some other features that Lemmy lacks. It's pretty cool, only reason I don't use more often it is I'm happy on my instance otherwise I would swap in an instant.

Really wish Loops had an Android app.

Tiktok -> tiktok with less content and login required unless you like the 10 videos we have chosen for you.

Can we self host loops yet? I've been holding out on that one. Not that I use tiktok but I would use loops and could probably get my wife to jump.

[–] unknown1234_5@kbin.earth 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

mbin should be on there too IMO. similar to Lemmy but it federates properly with microblog stuff.

Is there a voyager equivalent for piefed?

Voyager works great on PieFed, it doesn't yet have all the new PieFed features, but it works great.

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Last I heard voyager has experimental support for piefed, and that was several months ago. Don't know how it's going.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I use voyager and some of my alts are Piefed accounts. It works fine, I haven’t really run into any issues with it.
