Liking efficiency, I also love practical feeds become once you curate things to your liking, specially propagation happens and even if it doesn't, there's still widespread RSS and bridges adoption. If I want, I can even follow profiles from Threads and Bluesky, and also news and blogs through such.
Plus if a platform goes down, posts still stay around, propagating as people interact. Great for super old contents. =D
Welcome aboard!
The exciting this is the Fediverse is ANYTHING you want it to be.
There's YouTube - Peertube, Twitter - Mastodon, Reddit - Piefed, Forums - NodeBB, Blogs - Ghost, Twitch - Owncast.
The only thing Big Tech can do that we can't or won't is take away peoples choices, rights and enshitify everything.
Contribute where you can! Doesn't have to be code. Just being here gives us all more power. Those companies don't want to admit WE ARE THEIR CONTENT. Without people they're useless. We're taking it back.
I'm no Dev, so I started a show to talk to folks. Do what makes you happy and share. Even if it's as simple as just modding a community and being friendly and welcome.e. we do this together!
At the risk of sounding cheezy (and in a very nerdy way no less), Piefed feels like the future. Best principles of what made the internet good back in the day, with a modern approach. And all of it done on enthusiasm, DIY contributions and some modest donations.
Side note, one way to make YT work better, is to simply make a bookmark folder linking to the video pages (sorted by new) of the channels you watch. Even the search in YT is godawful and clearly design for "engagement" instead of finding what you are looking for.
Glad your enjoying it!
It is great in concept. Would be a lot better if any of my real life friends actually used it.
It's so great!

You're going to love it here!
Good that we have a better alternative. I'm on Mastodon too. Enjoy your stay.
welcome
