I use FB because my family is on their.
My feed is almost entirely not my family, but “suggested” posts, and it made me realize I really hope something becomes popular to replace FB next and my family moves there.
What type of site do you hope becomes popular on the fediverse next?
I’d really like for PeerTube to take off, especially with how YouTube/Google seem to be escalating the war on adblockers.
Oh please I hope so.
It’s so frustrating how many youtube creators have to play stupid games just to make it so that their own subscribers see their videos. If I’m subscribed, I wanna see on my home screen when a new video is added by someone I’m subscribed too. I don’t wanna see clickbait_master_10,000’s newest video on there. Like there are so many content creators with millions of subs, who get no views because the aLgOrItHm decided people don’t wanna see their videos, even though all those people subbed to them.
I really want to see federated wiki system, just because of how awful Fandom is and the independent wikis are all super spread out.
Ditto. And this could work really well when coupled with Lemmy, as wikis often have a comments section, that Lemmy could provide them.
I would like to see a day where most websites, instead of having a “share to Twitter/Reddit” button, have a “Discuss this on our Lemmy community” button instead.
I really hate how interwiki navigation sucks on Fandom. Like, they’ve done all this branding and centralizing of the Fandom platform, yet I’m pretty sure they only fairly recently started logging you in on all wikis whenever you signed in on one.
Its all just to try and be some hip pop culture thing for use to “consoom” without any effort to actually take advantage of being a central platform for the repository of lore from across culture.
So imagine if you can sign in to one of the independent wiki and can edit/comment/link to copy on all federated pages.
So there doesn’t need to be a Nintendo wiki, but a federation of Zelda/Mario/Kirby etc.
(Yes I know Nintendo Independent Wiki Association is a thing, but it’ll be easier on them if they have software level federation.)
this would be cool, but I could see it causing issues for places like Memory Alpha, which have a really strict and well-defined manual of style and acceptable references. I frequently see things on other wikis that you’d never see on Wookiepedia, Tardis Data Core, and/or Memory Alpha, like fanart embedded in articles, links to YouTube videos, incomplete drafts without proper tagging, etc.
EDIT: Conversely I could really see it benefiting the smaller wikis, especially ones with lots of overlap with each other (all the various Marvel/DC wikis, the specific Clone Wars wiki separate from the main Star Wars one, etc)
I’m still hoping Lemmy becomes popular.
I mean I think it’s popular enough to be usable at least! Which is the biggest problem with new social media, all the features in the world mean nothing if there is a small user base.
My god I would love to have some version of facebook without suggested content.
For some reason whenever I go there these days to see what my family has posted, I’ll sometimes get 4 suggested content posts in a row. With recently them being like super anti vegetarian and anti electric vehicle.
As a vegetarian who uses electric vehicles, I know I’m silly, but I don’t need facebook reminding me all the time!
Bring back “sort by new” as well. No idea what they were thinking there. No I don’t need to see the same 3 top popular posts for a week straight.
Pixelfed is working on stories which I’m really excited about. I love that kind of daily watch to catch up without posting on a feed that is always there. I think I’ve found myself hoping for a fully fleshed out discord replacement as well. Easy to manage servers with categories and channels, roles and permissions, etc.
Pixelfed was my answer too. I don’t do a lot of photo stuff, so I mostly stay on Mastodon/Lemmy, but the Dev is a really neat guy who seems like he needs to stay busy (have you heard of Sup yet?)
What app or apps can you use to access PixelFed?
I use the official app for no real reason other than thinking the dev is a cool person. Pixeldroid worked equally well.
A solid equivalent to AskReddit would be nice. I know a lot have tried but they’re all too small at this point
A discogs replacement would be cool, or an etsy replacement that lets you list your wares for sale and take XMR/BTC, paypal, and all those cashapp things, etc.
i just want to see a bunch of random visualizers and shaders, generative art gifs blasted in my face like the old /r/woahdude
A federated SoundCloud would be nice, especially SC became paywalled
more integrated events with management, so many thing happen on facebook because of event fuctionality
Hey Rev! Long time no see, hope you’ve been doing well!
