There's lots of talk right now about how #Reddit alternatives such as #Lemmy, #kbin and #Lotide fit into the overall picture of the #Fediverse, with some calling these link-aggregation sites collectively the "Threadiverse". But how does #Pinetta fit into the mix?
Much like a link aggregator, Pinetta allows users to collect and comment on various things like links, text, images, video, and so on. In that sense, it will interact almost seamlessly with federated link aggregators. The main difference, of course, is in the user interface. Pinetta will have a number of modes that users can choose to display content:
As a "feed" chronologically or ranked based on most engaging posts (based on favourites and boosts);
As a "grid" similar to how #Pixelfed displays images in profiles;
As a "masonry" layout - much like how #Pinterest displays pins by default;
As a "mood board", which will allow users to arrange pins visually to their liking in a freeform 2D layout.
Like what you're reading? So do we. Give us a follow and star our repos on Codeberg to keep up with development!
@jdp23@pinetta Well, it'd be even more awesome if it were parallel evolution, because that'd at least lend credence to the possibility it's a good idea.
@maegul it's awesome either way -- parallel evoltion, or the idea making it from lemmy to a hashtag posted by Pinetta on a Calckey instance to me seeing it and tagging you on Mastodon.
@pinetta do you happen to remember where you first say the timer "Threadiverse"?
Also it's worth thinking of all of these modes as applied to hashtags and Calckey antennas as well as groups and home/local feeds. Easier said than done I know, but at least conceptually!
