Edit: I realise I posed this in the wrong community, so I’m making this a crosspost and promotion for !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com a place to help grow the Fediverse.
Check it out.
When you want to share a image you found on PieFed, don’t download and share the image, just share the PieFed link.
This way the people or person you’re sharing it with might discover PieFed without you pushing it.
It also works great like this https://www.reddit.com/r/AskTheWorld/comments/1md2npo/what_is_the_best_power_outlet_and_why (does not work with old.reddit )
This will also improve SEO, and PieFed etc. might start popping up on search engine results more, and people will start to see and trust the Fediverse more.
Tried doing this, scared my friends by sending them weird links, got blocked a few times.
Your friends blocked you? What links specifically did you share, some look very dodgy but piefed.social looks fine
Why are you advertising this to a normie?
Why are you ruining my Perfect world of Linux nerds who havent showered in a month and whose most used word is PsyOP calling wach other Nazis and Tankies while literally wanting the same thing, just one of them beging too degenerate to understand the beauty of torturing people?
If anyone wants to give me shit for using WhatsApp or Reddit, please see Discussion: Do Not Reject Imperfect Allies
This articulates my frustration with the internet/lemmy extremely well. I’ve saved it for future reference and I’m optimistically hopeful for the future when maybe this isn’t something so many people need to see.
There’s already at least one comment there who noticed the source. Cool.
- I don’t think PieFed supports this anymore because of bots
- There are many different PieFed domains so SEO won’t really be effective anyway.
- PieFed supports this, literally tested it today.
- Sure the URL’s are distributed, which isn’t as effective as if it were just one url, but it still helps.
Will I tested it a couple days ago and it didn’t work so YMMV I guess.
PieFed was overrun by bots then and required login. But that seems to be fixed now
That’s explains that then, thanks!
This is a great idea!
People follow content, not platforms. The more people are exposed to great content, the more diverse the fediverse becomes.
