  • Some instances have different ways of making money. TILVids for example shares money from donations with the creators. Theres also support buttons that help creators out. As well as ads on some instances as themes. Most are just nonprofits trying to do good in the world.

    Its not as popular for the same reason your on fediverse, the interface allows anyone without ads to see your videos. The insentive does not always need to be $$, it most cases, its community building.













  • I think in order for both to work towards a better fediverse, there needs to be a “true” sync. Not like the bridge Bluesky is maintaining, we need something to sync both ways. Even if its just a subset with just public posts to begin with.

    I know a lot of fediverse software has their own API that extends their own functionality beyond the AP protocol, just to make things more complicated :). But it does help with say bookwyrm needs to know something specific from another bookwyrm instance.
