what‘s pixelfed? decentralized instagram basically?
Specifically, it’s 2012-era instagram as a federated app. It’s full of tech nerds, camera guys, birdwatchers, furries, gardening enthusiasts, railfans, and all the other quirky early adopters. It’s absolutely wonderful.
Did you say railfans? Shit sign me up!
Yes
Might want to edit your post title
You can do that here on lemmy
Unless they actually meant singing
I insist, we need a nomadic identities thing on Fedi, you create your user in one instance and now you can log in on any federated server on any of the ActivityPub services, maybe that Zot protocol thing or something on those lines
That's the whole point of Fediverse that there is no centralized player who will validate your data. Or every instance owner knows your password.
Hence, "Zot":
Zot's identity layer is unique. It provides invisible single sign-on across all sites in the grid.
It also provides nomadic identity, so that your communications with friends, family, and or anyone else you're communicating with won't be affected by the loss of your primary communication node - either temporarily or permanently.
The important bits of your identity and relationships can be backed up to a thumb drive, or your laptop, and may appear at any node in the grid at any time - with all your friends and preferences intact.
Crucially, these nomadic instances are kept in sync so any instance can take over if another one is compromised or damaged. This protects you against not only major system failure, but also temporary site overloads and governmental manipulation or censorship.
Nomadic identity, single sign-on, and Hubzilla's decentralisation of hubs, we believe, introduce a high degree of degree of resiliency and persistence in internet communications, that are sorely needed amidst global trends towards corporate centralization, as well as mass and indiscriminate government surveillance and censorship.
As you browse the grid, viewing channels and their unique content, you are seamlessly authenticated as you go, even across completely different server hubs. No passwords to enter. Nothing to type. You're just greeted by name on every new site you visit.
How does Zot do that? We call it magic-auth, because Hubzilla hides the details of the complexities that go into single sign-on logins, and nomadic identities, from the experience of browsing on the grid. This is one of the design goals of Hubzilla: to increase privacy, and freedom on the web, while reducing the complexity and tedium brought by the need to enter new passwords and login names for every different sight that someone might visit online. You login only once on your home hub (or any nomadic backup hub you have chosen). This allows you to access any authenticated services provided anywhere in the grid - such as shopping, blogs, forums, and access to private information. Your password isn't stored on a thousand different sites; it is stored on servers that you control or that you have chosen to trust.
You cannot be silenced. You cannot be removed from the grid unless you yourself choose to exit it.
This is awesome. I think it's better to have a separate mastodon and Pixelfed, but this is good for the majority of people.
I was a bit confused by the typo in your post title :-) But yeah this would be cool!
Lol just notice, fixed now
Which songs?
You may only sing "I feel love" by Donna Summer.

Does Pixelfed have an all like Lemmy? Joined a local instance but it's has only like 5 users and the public feed is just pictures of them only.
You can follow hashtags
Thats awesome 👍
Any pixelfed instance you folks recommend? pixey.org seemed cool but doesn't seem to be accepting new users right now.
Oh, too bad, I use that one
This probably will do indirectly that my project https://findmyfriends.online does not make sense to exists. We’ll see.
...what?
If people uses his Mastodon users in Pixelfed, I guess you will automatically follow your Mastoson friends there.
is it available yet cuz i dont see any option for that
