I wanna give it a try, but I've been looking at the servers and I haven't found the one for me and what I'll use the account for. Nor do I know of any account on a pixelfed server I could be interested in following...to just follow accounts on completely different federated servers it wouldn't make any sense to me.

The average user doesn't want to migrate here, though. The average user is either content to keep their Reddit account or thinking on migrating to another big centralised platform.

Open-source decentralised platforms like the fediverse and its projects aren't remotedly interesting for the average user.

"The growth" of the fediverse in general or of any platform in it is not responsibility of one server. The only thing Beehaw admins are responsible for is Beehaw.

If you want Lemmy to grow create your own communities and threads, participate in other people's communities and posts, etc.

there are more than 1000 Lemmy servers, many of whom are open to community creation (something that Beehaw never has been)

Go create content on Lemmy if you want it to grow.

BTW, "growth" is not necessarily a good thing on the fediverse. Growing too much can be the death of a server.

Why would anyone still be on Twitter when Mastodon, Akkoma, Calckey, GoToSocial, etc exist?

  • There's Vanilla ice cream, and also "vanilla" ice cream

  • Burger and sandwich places should offer cooked vegetable options to add to the burger/sandwich for people who cannot eat or simply don't like raw vegetables

Quoting the FediPact:

Openness for the sake of openness is meaningless. Two things that are very valued on fedi are consent and freedom of association. The whole point of the fediverse is that instances are free to choose who they talk to. We don't have to federate with the likes of gab, for example. Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell, chasing a capitalist pipe dream

  • Transcribe all text.

  • Explain differences in font, size, style, and case.

  • Explain the direction/order of the text.

The alt text it's not visible (I particularly would prefer if it were), but I've had no problem reading alt text with my TTS app, so, don't worry, it's there.

P.S: Totally agree about the image preview

There's alt text there. my phone's TTS app is reading it no problem. But I'm having problems with it on browser i don't know why
