Image Max URL (Web - GitHub - Firefox addon) was able to get a 3840x2160 version.

Thanks!

I tried Pixelfed (very briefly) not so long ago. I didn’t find a propper way to search for content. How do you discover new content?

I’ve been hearing a lot about https://micro.blog recently. I haven’t tried it, or blogged in a long time.

AFAIK it supports ActivityPub.

I also found a post in one micro.blog with a few of alternatives:
TL;DR: Tumblr / Ghost / Blot / Mastodon / Write.as / Jekyll
https://book.micro.blog/alternative-platforms/
EDIT: Manton Reece is the founder and lead developer of micro.blog

A couple of tools to help finding the original sources:

• dessant/search-by-image: Browser extension for reverse image search
• SauceNAO’s “Image Search Options” addon: Firefox - Chrome
• Reverse image search engine URLs (replace XXX with the image URL):
  • Google: https://lens.google.com/uploadbyurl?url=XXXX
  • Bing: https://www.bing.com/images/searchbyimage?cbir=sbi&imgurl=XXXX
  • TinEye: https://www.tineye.com/search?url=XXXX
  • Yandex: https://yandex.com/images/search?rpt=imageview&url=XXXX
  • SauceNAO: https://saucenao.com/search.php?url=XXXX

Also, thanks to @Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de and @Stamets@startrek.website for the mentions :).

I watched the video yesterday and I couldn’t really understand what the plan is. What I got was something like “the corps are too big for the consumers to do anything and laws are very slow to made”.

Did I miss something about the “audacious(?)” plan?

twitch raids

INDEED, THANKS! I was sure this couldn’t really be something new but I couldn’t figure out any references.

Twitch raids are (almost, as you said) the perfect example.

a community should be able to indicate that they’re open to raids or not.

And another option would be to allow Raid Requests in sub…

Good food for thought, thanks.

maybe lemmy is different

My (100% speculative) theory is that lemmy/fediverse is too disperse for its size, a lot of very small communities with the exception of a very small number of successful ones.

If that’s the case, this could help with the “nucleation” of mid size communities in the short term.

I also find the experiment interesting and fun by itself. As said in the post, I don’t think anyone should post more that they like just for the sake of growth.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hoping from community to community is fun and easier than commiting to being a mod in one (or more), so thank you for that :).

but going past that (…) gets real obnoxious with how it saturates “all”.

I agree. My current strategy is to have list of 10-to-20-ish small communities I think can succeed and try to post to them every day or two.

I took a look and one of your communities is (since a couple of days ago) on that list: !gameart@sopuli.xyz

See you there!

Of course I could be wrong, but I don’t agree.

When people go to a community in which its last post was 2 weeks ago, it’s much less likely that they interact with that community (posting or commenting) than if the community has multiple posts per day. And that also affects the possibility that they come back in the next days. If you set the proper environment for enough users to interact and come back then, when the “campaign” ends, the level can be much greater than when it started.

I’m not saying that just posting a lot in a community for a few days guarantees it will grow after that, that’s not how communities work. What I’m saying is that it can work with different degrees of success. And, if done properly, it can be fun to try.

I don’t have a strong opinion on which communities people could focus. If there is enough people that wants it (and their mods agree), I will be happy to help.
