It has front ends but it’s inbuilt.

Oh yeah filters! They are a thing. Works pretty well on piefed.

Yeah its totally my setup! I had some issues with openAI and amazon just slamming my servers so had to make it harder for them to get content.

oh wait that may not work for you on my server, I made it auth protected woops!

It works but im on the phone…so im going to leave it for now. But yeah it works.

Yep works both ways.

If you want to try it out: Pixelfed to other services:

It shows up in:

• Mastodon: https://social.rootaccess.org/@michaelc@photos.chrisco.me/114114045115285962

Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/114122668582152347

And here it is in pixelfed: https://photos.chrisco.me/i/web/post/803734298035587039

Pixelfed federation works well. it shows up on anything activityhub related.

Works closer to mastodon with hashtags.

That’s a very good question. I don’t have a good answer ATM. I have both because I’m on the fence.

Lemmy and piefed both scratch the topic discovery itch. Both are excellent software.

Piefed pros:

1. Topics (collection of communities) are awesome to subscribe to.
2. One of the best fediverse integrations out there.
3. The python is easy to read.
4. Mod tools are great.
5. The main dev is a treasure

Lemmy pros:

1. Very reddit like UI.
2. Lots of apps phone or otherwise.
3. Very well supported by admins of the bigger instances

Lemmy has an easier way to post than piefed. The selection of communities is a bit better. Piefed is much easier to stand up on home servers (I did it once). It’s also seeing a large amount of dev work right now. And as I’ve said before it has much better fediverse integration than Lemmy. Lemmy has this issue where it’s hard to federate with other services, even when you search using the search tool.

Bookwyrm is awesome :)

Piefed /Lemmy for keeping up with topics.

GoToSocial for keeping up with people and how they are going.

Pixelfed for my dog pictures and other people’s pets.

Peertube mostly for my family (dog or otherwise) videos.and subscriptions. I have around 40 now :)

Other than Lemmy/piefed, I self host everything on a very small server. It’s fun if you like that kinda thing.

Wonder if they want to track all phones with a different system.

Oh great!

Yep and you can dictate the sync time. It’s great.

Lemmy moderation tools are a bit wonky at times. But a vast majority of communities do actually moderate.

Why you gotta call me out like that.

Ive been using it for a couple years now. Its solid. Super easy to host via docker or yunohost. It can mass import/export as well.

Depends on where your at.

My mortgage doesn’t go up every year, but rent always does! I now pay significantly less than the average rent in my area. Fun times.

When I got it, I remember the lag the most.

You would do a button press and then about a half second later it would register. It was VERY bad and laggy.

The controller buttons would stick as well. So playing an actual game sucked.

And it had to be online on order to play any games. Which sucked at the time when att would be flaky.

It was actually a cheap lesson in not pre-ordering anything ever again. It’s inadvertently saved me thousands over the years.

I once got a ouya.

I want a repairable phone. A phone where I can replace the battery

Great guide!
