I've never really used tiktok, but with Reddit shitting the bed it's time to expand my horizons and create a social media "mix"

So yesterday I'm watching tiktok for pretty much the first time having a real go at it, and I noticed when I'm scrolling the videos are all kinda meh, then I click back (to exit on android) and I get a "decent" one, so I hang around and watch it, then scrolling more meh, back, decent video. Is this a thing? I ended up just clicking back to game the system, if I really liked the video I would reward tiktok with a scroll, if it gives me a shit video, back again.

Am I nuts?

Nah people will find it. Right now it should be just about growth and then let it specialise from there

We could just get all new users to sign up to lemmygrad

I'm getting the following error reading this post: "item at index 2 does not exist"

Should I post this on stack overflow or some other Lemmy help community?

After trying jerboa I ended up going this route. I keep getting server errors using the pwa though not sure if lemmy.ml just can't handle the traffic or I'm doing something wrong

Agree on the pick a server ... And then approval!

I had almost forgotten about it but I'm glad I came back.

I think maybe the ability to just join a generic starting point and then port your account when you find where you want to be might be a better model, but that will remain to be seen

Interesting analysis of how fox news operates in the states and what can be done about it

Hey @nutomic, so I ended up creating a pixelfed account after looking at what all if this is about and posting there... Since it does both videos and photos and also I got in immediately but still waiting for a peertube account to be approved.

Anyway so I direct linked the MP4 over on !cattrain@lemmy.ml and there is no preview or indication it's a video. Is there a better way to link them for user engagement? The images show up just fine

I'm surprised to find there are no adult subs popping up.

I hit up my brother in law who is involved in the adult industry and he is going to spin up an instance that's super ok with adult content in the next day or so.

Let's face it, without porn tumbler disappeared, and I think Reddit will too when it bans anything nsfw

Never heard of peertube, wait here, I'm going in

I'm making a community with a bunch of archived photos and videos I have of cats getting pulled along in shoeboxes in a train like formation - I'm calling it CatTrain.

Anyway typically I would host it on Reddit any they would come from v.reddit (after Imgur got all pissy) but I want to avoid using Reddits backend after they also decided to change direction.

What does everyone recommend?

Well I just subbed to !uncle_bens@lemmy.ml and read your posts. I haven't got much to add yet as I'm currently doing my second attempt as the first one needed to be aborted early. Fingers crossed and I'll add some stuff there if I have anything

Do you think that's going to happen here? The community makes the platform but I used to like Reddit back in the wild west days before everything was so censored. It was up to me if I wanted to consume some content - and while I largely chose to avoid certain things, I felt like it was my choice. A great example was the r/toosoon sub that got banned for it's morbid humor when some celebrity died. Sure it was in bad taste but that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist

I'm now typing this to you from jerboa!

[-] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yes. Quite literally. Microsoft bought exclusive rights to chatgpt (I think just 3) and they use it for "New Bing" and Copilot for coding help.

It's actually really good, though I still use duckduckgo for search probably out of habit

I'm thinking mobile but keeping the options open
