I just want more things on Peertube.
I really want to love peertube and use it but the transition is hard. I feel bad for "wasting" server space and compute and when I view the video on peertube I'm making my favorite creators gain less traction on YouTube which directly affects their income and growth.
You know that PeerTube has a build-in video import tool ? It can import Youtube / Dailymotion / Vimeo channels or playlists.
https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use/channel-sync
I think that downloading YouTube videos is technically illegal unless you have been the uploader of the videos. But with PeerTube you can create private channels which you could share with friends or maybe even paid subscribers I guess.
I agree, peer tube's biggest issues so far besides the storage or the fact that there are almost no peer tube servers which offer user accounts (which isn't needed explicitly to watch videos but makes the experience much better), and also the fact that there aren't really any good apps to use it with that aren't outdated or abandoned.
Craigslist / Facebook Marketplace
That’s a good one. The photomarket on reddit was the main reason I was hesitant to shut down my account. And eBay is way too expensive and unfair for sellers.
LinkedIn.
It's one of the last social media I have. Benefits outweigh cons, but I still would like to get rid of it
What are the benefits of Linkedin? Ive never seen anyone mention it positively
I do B2B hardware and software projects. I hate sales and advertising but I will post something I'm working on about once a week on my personal LinkedIn. It's amazing how many customers reference that stuff when I have my first meeting.
I found my latest job there. Some companies tend to mostly post in LinkedIn rather than other job boards. I guess it's probably country dependent
It can be like Facebook if you don’t know how to use it. It can suck.
But I found all my jobs thanks to this website so I can’t complain.
I've never received a job directly from it, but I've had prospective employers search my profile.
I've been wanting to create this but I don't have enough experience making federated anything. Which parts of LinkedIn would you want replicated the most?
Just being able to see interesting job posts in my field and area
But if you would like to contribute to Fediverse project, I would say that the current link aggregator options would have more impact:
- if you know Rust: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
- if you know Java: https://github.com/sublinks
- if you know PHP: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/
- if you know Python: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/

I wish they had an official presence in the Fediverse.
I kind of miss seeing the tweets on the homepage and think to myself that Mastodon or one of its forked versions would be the ideal replacement.
I would love this so much, I looked around to see if anyone had opened an official issue for that yet, but I saw nothing on their Jira
i would have the entire internet go back to being protocols instead of proprietary platforms
I'd rather we just ditch algorithms and go back to it being random/chronological feeds.
I wish algorithms were opt-in, transparent, and allowed choice (whether by choosing an algorithm over another, or customizing parameters).
If this were the case, I'd have no issue with algos.
JellyFin
Jellyfin federated would be so cool. Maybe a peertube front-end could achieve something similar.
.
FBI would arrest jellyfin devs so fast before they can hit the release button.
Booru-style Image Boards like rule34
Bruh
Nebula.
Forums, facebook groups (but not owned by meta), Letterboxd, Amazon (without amazon)
Lemmy is kinda close to forums and groups. But I do agree I prefer that format over the Reddit-like format.
All of em, really. I don't see much of a reason why the vast majority of platforms wouldn't benefit from it, except for maybe an argument around it allowing the creation of larger and larger echo chambers, but that's probably fine as long as it's managed to only be to a certain degree.
4chan I guess. It doesn't have to be 4chan specifically, I just want a federated ActivityPub image board
What is the practical difference between that and what we have here? Genuinely curious.
I don't know, can't really describe it, but 4chan just has a different vibe. I love Lemmy, but it's closer to Reddit than to 4chan.
It's not really that fundamentally different from the idea of Lemmy, the interface is just different but the idea of having communities and posts in the communities is the same.
The thing that would be tricky and would probably have the most friction would be anonymous posting since that's where things get really ugly regarding moderation and user conduct, since a good amount are just going to be spammers and many others will be trolls and malicious users.
There's already one, I don't remember the name and is ultra dead albeit
I tried so many different search queries and couldn't find anything regarding a Fediverse image board
Github
The only thing that keeps me tied to any Meta platform is the Facebook marketplace. It is the de facto method of buying and selling used goods in a sustainable fashion.
If there was any alternative, especially a federated one, I'd switch over in a heartbeat.
@ChasingEnigma@lemmy.world DeviantArt - I like separation between art, literature, and regular status updates, and the ability to group posts in your inbox into folders by who posted them. Or, more realistically, any of the various furry sites that work on a similar model and have less potential for cultural conflict.
Genealogy sites.
Is there even a genealogy site that is not owned by the Genealogical Mafia i.e. Ancestry? AFAIK WikiTree hasn't sold out yet.
Second Life.
As in you don't have to pay upkeep of a region/sim when you can host it yourself. But you can still rent/buy parcels on other user or LL hosted region/SIM. In the later scenario you would pay the hoster a regular upkeep.
There is OpenSim i think
https://tl.net The old Team Liquid forums, still the best place to discuss StarCraft
And I guess if Reddit was ActivityPub that would be good too
Strava. Sharing workouts, leader boards with friends, challenging friends on goals. Maybe even badges.
Twitter.
I know this is the “wrong answer” but I had always used Twitter to keep tabs on local government agencies, newspapers, reporters, restaurants, bars, events, concerts, sports teams, etc. Not to mention all the accounts that pertain to my hobby’s and interests.
I’ve used bird.makeup but it’s not reliable if it works at all. Some agencies, like our transit system and streets department, will post on one thing on their website and something else on instagram or twitter (many have stopped using twitter after the api change). RSS is fine for some things but not everything. I haven’t been using instagram for years because of advertising and the algorithmic timeline. I at least need lists.
Really, the right answer here for my needs is that all these groups need to join the fediverse. I just don’t see that happening.
Or maybe I should say I wish the “existing platform” of my city government would start their own instance.

Yes, it's a problem. Even several open source projects use Tw(X)tter as their main outlet. A few years ago one project even used it to share an important security update! They must have posted it in their Discourse forum as well but I don't visit that often. I stumbled upon the important post by coincidence with Nitter (Nitter is declared dead since a few months). Since then, lesson learned, I use some notification.

Agreed. Some people stay there because "everyone is there", or their favorite VIPs are there, or people stay there because they think they should fight the bad things that happened to it from within :/ Sad.
Or maybe I should say I wish the “existing platform” of my city government would start their own instance.
That would be cool.Governments, at least in the country where I live in, need to make an effort to be transparent and reach out to their citizens without creating insurmountable barriers.Start an on-line petition and getting people to sign it, and share with the local government ?
yeah, it's such a shame that people think X is the right place to share important updates.
It fucking absolutely is NOT!
Yesterday I went to look up Trakts X profile to see whether there are issues with their API. X shows posts from 2020-2023, but nothing from 2024 even though there was a tweet from 2 days ago.
X is dead and should officially be declared as such.

Both Germany and the EU have their own Mastodon instances for official announcements, social.bund.de and social.network.europa.eu
There's also an instance for the German public broadcasting service, ard.social
I wish more countries would do this
I wanna make a game that's federated. No idk what that would mean.
Have you seen fedi games? https://games.rerere.org/
Maybe each server is hosting a different area in the game, and they are connected by portals. Would need a way to transfer users and their inventory to another server.
Meetup / events, the cultural calendar of physical events should be free from platforms! Facebook used to be good for this in its heyday, because of its wide adoption, but now they are chasing «engagement» and ad revenue, and is no longer a good tool for public, so the timelime is full of crap etc.
It already exists.
Usenet
guilded?
