Thanks very much

Thanks very much

No offence, but I don’t think that I would want Pixelfed to add Pinterest style features.

It just feels like, at least IMO, trying to be too many things at once.

Pixelfed should remain separate from any Pinterest alternative that the Fediverse decides upon.

Now if Pixelfed wants to add features that are inspired by Pinterest, then that’s a different thing.

Also pinry

Welcome.

I also saw another one called RibbonLinks, but it didn’t really strike me as a Pinterest alternative

No, it’s closed source

Did you try to sign up for beta, or sign up for Aiko?

Because when you click on the link, it should look like this:

You then add your email address, and then, later on, you’ll get an email, allowing you to beta test

I just asked

Not for the conversation, but I do have one for website:

Here is an image of the Subreddit post, as well:

Not really, at least not IMO.

It’s more like Instagram.

So far, only 4 upvotes, and two comments:

One telling me to add Misskey and Sharkey to the post, and the other one of the constant spam Gaza comments / posts.

I’d think that it would probably work better if more people posted posts about the Fediverse, than just me

Idk, this was a comment left by u/chrismessina on the r/Fediverse version of this post:

I find their explanation for why they didn’t build on open social web protocols baffling:

Why isn’t UpScrolled a decentralized platform?

Because it doesn’t work for what we’re trying to build. UpScrolled isn’t decentralized (yet) because today’s open protocols (e.g., ActivityPub, AT Protocol) don’t reliably deliver what we need for a mainstream, video-forward app: fast global discovery, stable search/ranking, and smooth media. In practice, these stacks still lean on centralized indexing to work well, so we’re shipping the experience that works now-not a theory.

We keep things open and simple with lightweight, common-sense protections-spam/bot filtering, straightforward reporting, and consistent deletes when people remove their own content. We’re building interoperable by design (clean exports, stable APIs) and will add optional bridges to open protocols as they mature, so you can reach more people without sacrificing speed or simplicity.

(They’ve since scrubbed this from their FAQ).

Welcome

I added an edit with information about what Upscrolled is

No I am not

Don’t forget about Loops

Apparently there is also We Distribute, we’re basically a Fediverse news blog. Connected Places also does a lot of Fediverse / Bluesky reporting.

I think that CB is attempting to become a wrapper for all of them.

Ie you could use CB to pay using crypto, or Stripe, Apple/Google Pay, SAMSUNG Wallet, or etc

There’s also apparently Crowdbucks
