I don’t want to run FediDB, Loops, Sup, Pixelfed, PubKit myself long term, my goal is to establish a solid foundation for these projects and find the right home to allow them to thrive.
This could perhaps be through a non-profit organization I could start, or one that is trusted by the community
Regardless, I don’t want to be “in charge” of all these fediverse services, I love building but it’s a lot of work to run them and I don’t like the notoriety tbh, it’s a lot to deal with
I didn’t know that the discover pages didn’t federate
To see what I mean, go to any instance, visit the explore page, and click a hash tag. Then go to a different instance and enter that same tag on the second instance. In every example I’ve tried, the second instance either has a completely different set of photos for the same tag or no photos at all. For example, on https://gram.social/ the tag #carspotting shows 171 posts. Now if I try the same tag on https://pixey.org, 0 posts.
Yep, just confirmed it
https://gram.social/discover/tags/carspotting
https://pixey.org/discover/tags/carspotting
I think what I’m looking for on Pixelfed is a toggle similar to what Lemmy has, where the user can choose between Local or All. Local would show photos from just that instance, whereas All would include photos from all instances (that aren’t blocked ofc).
