It is has a “For You” tab but it’s not doing anything yet. Or… I don’t know what it’s doing, to be honest.

Dansup said that he’s adding an algorithm soon.

Nice. Get ready to scale your servers, folks!

…and they said you were mad to hoard all that blubber!

Ummmm… we’ll take the tariffs. Some offense, Americans. (jk love you guys)

Yesssssss. That’s amazing!

I want to believe 🛸

Must be a time travel thing. Some advice for you, visitors from 24 hours ago: learn Dutch. The Netherlands conquered the world in the 18-hour war and English is a dying language. And stock up on whale blubber. You’re gonna need it.

Dunno. It’s $78K now.

You’re gonna regret asking me to post more but… your wish is my command! 🪄

I’m not sure that “got yelled at” is a great metric. On L.W., it probably depends on the community a bit but it’s not likely they’re getting yelled at by a mod, or having their post/comment deleted, right? No one’s going to ban their account there.

In terms of users – except for the bad places – everywhere is “here.” You can block people that are being exceptionally dickish too.

And, real talk, you can say “it’s a beautiful day today” and there’ll be two dildos that downvote you and maybe someone that’s like “not everywhere!!!” Don’t let it get ya down.

They’re about to launch a second flagship server to relieve some of the stress on p.s. It sounds like it’ll be in the next day or two (but you never know with them).

Might be a good option if you’re still having trouble when they fire it up.

The server’s getting hammered today for sure. People on the server are posting at a rate of 5 posts per second. It’s wild.

Registrations are open though. The local timeline is filled with first posts from accounts created today.

Pixelfed SMASH

Already nearly $75K:

Scaled takes smaller communities into account and bumps their posts up so they don’t get buried by posts from larger communities with more engagement.

Edit: here are the descriptions:

Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time.
Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published.
Scaled: Like hot, but gives a boost to less active communities

Word.

Scaled was a game-changer for me.

I use scaled on web. Voyager can remember your sorts for different communities. I typically to use new for smaller communities and scaled for larger ones and the home feed.

Oh yeah, I can see how it could feel slow. 3000 active users vs. 160,000 on pixelfed.social.

Well, hope the global feed situation gets sorted out for you one way or another!

Are you on a smaller server? The local feeds of the larger ones are crazy right now.

The other apps all support the global feed. The web-ui does too. The Android app is not great right now so I’ve been using Pixelix. The global feed’s pretty useless though, IMO. You kind of get buried in Mastodon people “quoting” with images of text. They really need a Pixelfed-Global feed because it’s pretty damn hard to discover people on other Pixelfed servers right now.

Twitter. With a little google drive thrown into the mix. Plus simple custom algorithmic feeds. And some kooky animation stuff.
