Obviously I think whoever made this pic has great intentions and it’ll definitely be good enough for an article banner or something which is what it’s most likely to be used for.

Here is Elena's message on mastodon about it: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113899740641675793 I guess you can always provide some feedback!

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Nah I’m not gonna dunk on her effort. I’m glad she made it. Don’t wanna be a downer to her.

But it just looks off to me.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago

If you have constructive feedback, it seems like the photographer is open to it. It's not dunking on anyone to say "hey great work and cool idea, just so you know the image looks a little "off" on my screen, possibly due to my accessibility settings, which are blah blah blah... hope this helps, thanks for the great work!"

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah it's a bad composite, not just you.

Nah, the license doesn't allow you to crop it

Edit: not sure why I was downvoted for explaining the legal limitations of use of the license

What is loops? Not seeing it on the play store

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 23 points 6 days ago (2 children)

A federated tiktok alternative by the same guy who made Pixelfed. You can find the app on testflight.

It's not actually federated yet, not even open source. It's promising but Dan gets himself into a lot of controversy :/

It doesn't even have a web ui yet, but it's pretty much finished (atleast from dans mastodon teasers). We only have to wait a couple of weeks or a month for it (i estimate at least)

Don't get my negative comment wrong tho, i'm still excited for it, just disappointed so far from dan's handling of it.

Here's the website: https://loops.video/

@fxomt@lemm.ee this summary is gold.

[+] NudeNewt@lemm.ee -16 points 6 days ago (2 children)

After reading through this, it wouldn't surprise me if he turned out to be a Russian operative. In particular a Slovakian, no hate to Slavs but he just strikes me as one ya know?

It all just reads like a disgruntled federal operative letting the popularity get to their head.

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Does he have an ego? Definitely. But i'm not sure where you got russian operative from though. I'm not sure what russia would want to do with a buggy federated tiktok alternative/instagram app.

He also made pixelfed as i said, and it's open source so so far i haven't heard any backdoors inside it. Loops is a black box though.

[–] NudeNewt@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It would seem I forgot to add the /s

In any case, I'm simply disappointed in his choices for not open sourcing software that would undoubtedly march on in terms of progress at light speed if fully FOSS.

I hope he learns to hone his ego, it's within and without. I just hope he comes to his senses and begins to work with devs who are desperate to get a peak at the closed source portions of his sofware. - By open sourcing any blackboxed software.

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ohhhh 🤦‍♂️Sorry. I agree, I hope he betters himself and make loops OSS. Currently he's pretty controversial but hopefully he turns around before it's too late.

[–] NudeNewt@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

Honestly same! I was ready to delete my Pixelfeed account after having read all thatlbut I have high hopes that a turnaround comes. Here's to hoping 🤞

[–] Bali@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It wouldn't suprprise me also if he lives near Sagitarius A*

Why ND? :(

[–] TomSelleck@lemm.ee 43 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Voyager should be on there.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 23 points 6 days ago

Nope. Preference should not be made.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Maybe. But it's probably more important to start with Lemmy than which app to use.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 6 days ago

Boost is best. Only thing that doesn't work great is spoiler markdown, otherwise it's great

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Please explain why.

[–] TomSelleck@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

When I first joined Lemmy, it was not easy to find my way around. I left Reddit because they screwed over 3rd party apps, so finding Voyager early on was a blessing. I just want people to be aware that there is an easier way to navigate Lemmy, and they update regularly.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 54 points 1 week ago

That’s what I use but it’s just one of the several way to access Lemmy which is the first app shown.

What’s the most “mainstream” peertube instance? All I’ve seen is niche gaming stuff. Is there an instance that is more of a youtube replacement?

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Really? I just installed it and all I see is news in French. When I try to add more "platforms", it tells me that I need to choose a platform first, but doesn't give me any options. It's like it just expects me to figure that out on my own. Very unintitive.

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 36 points 1 week ago (2 children)

tilvids probably. For the most mainstream general instance? Probably none. But freediverse, spectra and WTF are probably the best for it (imho ofc)

[–] SolarPunker@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 days ago

Peertube.wtf is back!

[–] supermurs@kbin.earth 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks mate! I haven't quite figured out how to use PeerTube yet, but I was able to join Freediverse now.

loops doesnt federate. why is it there?

no mbin (interstellar)?

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 28 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Because it's brand new and will eventually federate. The developer is deep in the fediverse so 100% it will

lemmy.world app when?

Edit: I was making a joke, not actually asking lol. Thanks to all that answered tho :)

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

If you zoom in on the image, you can see a faint gray square inside of the Lemmy app icon. That means it’s a progressive web app (PWA) on iPhone.

Open the webpage in Safari > tap share > tap add to Home Screen
