Growing the Fediverse by sharing links (media.piefed.social)

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.

If anyone wants to give me shit for using WhatsApp or Reddit, please see Discussion: Do Not Reject Imperfect Allies

Can I give you shit for the wallpaper tho?

That you can yes, but before you do some context.

I like using images I took myself as wallpapers, this one is of my old and new bike sprocket that I replaced myself on my parents garage floor, I thought it looked cool you can see how worn out the teeth are on the old gear compared to the new one.

The photo quality hasn't held up over the years, it might need replacement

Haha that's a cool story though! I thought it was some weapon or tool like a throwing axe or something

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 3 points 2 months ago

I thought it was a wheel rim.

[–] LarsIsCool@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It is now also my wallpaper

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I bet you noticed a LOT less slop after replacing that one!

I was quite new to Motocross, and made the mistake of buying one of the most powerful bike I could find.

The first 6 months I scared to ride 😅 but got used to it and ended up loving it.

I'm sure someone more experienced would have noticed, but I was a absolute noob

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For sure, I get that. What kind of bike did you have?

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

YZ250 2-Stroke It's a blast

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah, a buddy of mine had a Kawasaki 250 2-stroke. That power band kicking in was downright terrifying. Lol

Does Piefed have any good frontends yet?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Photon is working on it. Tesseract is a big maybe though probably not and Alexandrite and Mlmym have issues for support.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

That's a good subtle nudge!
