My point about “niche” is that from the current perspective, the niche communities is the more regular ones, because at the moment, the majority of users here is technical. We need more ordinary users, not just more users.

I do feel we need more users, but not just users. It’s “niche” users we need. There’s a lot of techies on the threadiverse (Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin), but not enough people who care about other stuff.
So communities outside that, struggle to thrive.

3·13 days agoFor the redirect from YouTube to PeerTube, it just uses the video title. This sometimes results in a “false positive”, but it does work.
You can try it with “The Linux Experiment”.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is posting from #Mastodon to a #Lemmy community a good idea or will this just confuse everyone?English
6·18 days agoI don’t really think so, no.
Edit: That it’s confusing
Lemmy is literally a link aggregator. You link to stuff and then it can be discussed.
If you wanna create c/florida, go for it. Post news, politics, humor, facts, questions etc. related to Florida.
If you need inspiration, you can always look at that other place subreddit 😉

321·1 month agoI just wish .ml was more honest with their rules and policies, so people can actually make an informed decision, before they sign up there.
I use one for PeerTube and another for Lemmy. Firefox addons.
Can’t remember the names, but should be fairly easy to find.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Fediverse wide cross-instance / cross-platform link substitution [UX improvement thoughts]English
4·1 month agoHow the links act is different from client to client. If you click the link in the Lemmy web UI, it will take you directly to Lemmy.wtf, but if you used Voyager (iOS client), it will automatically redirect to your own instance.
This is something that should be built into the Lemmy web UI.
You can also use browser addons. I have an addon that redirects me to my own instance, if I click on a link in my browser. I also have an addon that takes me from YouTube to Peertube, if the video also exist in PeerTube or if I click a PeerTube link, it takes me to my instance.
Also how dare you criticise the awesome TLD .wtf, which is clearly an abbreviation of “What The Fediverse”?!

Doesn’t PieFed merge communities with the same name?

2·3 months agoIt depends on the instance, since most PeerTube instances are very limited in their federation with other instances. Check out this link: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15816115 and pick one of them.











Yes. An update to the latest version borked it somehow. Working on a solution.
