The Pixelfed guy does good work, but video hosting/streaming is the most difficult use-case to compete in due to infrastructure costs; I’m interested to see how he’s planning to handle this and I wish him luck.
I think streaming works best where people self host their own media tbf.
I think that pixelfed guy has a big problem with commitment, he has so many unfinished/unpolished projects, and he’d be able to do so much more if he wasn’t starting something new every other month.
Also there is no casino algorithm showing you what big data knows will make you stay for a while.
In TikTok or instagram reels, you don’t follow people you like. You just watch stuff happening.

That’s actually the whole point of TikTok, what made it different when it started. An app for short videos where you follow people you like is more of a Snapchat competitor, not TikTok.
he mentioned in the past that the videos will be automatically deleted after some period of time, so that should make the storage situation a little bit more manageable.
Snapchat would have been easier in that sense
no actual product available, lets spam it everywhere. awesome.
hard not to feel like someone isnt countin eggs as chickens here
I signed up and never got the verification email. It happened to basically everyone else that signed up too. Weird. Looks like the “official launch” was actually the “beginning of beta test”, weird how they marketed it as an “official launch”.
I thought that what he literally called it. Public Beta
the creator delayed the launch because he had to write the legalese for the service, and on top of that I think he’s waiting for the app stores to approve the app (the service isn’t available through a browser).
I doubt that. From what he said somewhere on Pixelfed, the beta is only on Android right now and you don’t need approval to publish something on the Play Store. From personal experience, apps appear within a couple of minutes. On iOS, the usual approval time would be 3-4 days.
Isn’t “soft launch” the usual term for this?
I hope that floating navbar style doesn’t become mainstream. Distracting to the point of making me sick.
I don’t have TikTok myself but having seen my friends show videos from their screen I think it’s absolutely hideous how half of the video is covered with comments and buttons and shit. That would be a total dealbreaker for me.
