@doctormo@floss.socialA local food charity was asking about what kind of platforms might be available instead of Instaram?
I don't have good answers; except that as we have seen in the research that you must stay on instagram but create an alternative home which has all of the functionality you need and then point people from the place you dislike, towards the spaces you like
Within reason, of course.
Has anyone here has cause to develop food pantry communication systems?
@doctormo Pixelfed? Mastodon?
@doctormo a friend is in the process of moving a small local charity to fedi.
The plan as I understand it, roll out #Pixelfed and #Mastodon, they'll keep their "legacy" socials up to mirror fedi, but links on the website will only direct to fedi accounts.
They've got no illusions that they can just cut the cord, but will be directing any traffic that they can to their fedi accounts. Be nice if there was a bot that could mirror the Pixelfed account to insta, apparently insta doesn't like that
@doctormo @naugeleh the challenge with charity social media presence is that they really have to be where their served population is AND where their donor population is.
If their community is on instagram or TikTok or Facebook or even X, they need to be there. The best way they can support getting off those platforms is to ALSO host their own mastodon/pixelfed/whatever suits their goals and make that the primary place, syndicating to other platforms as needed. Ideally the syndicated presence would consistently point to the self-hosted option as the most reliable place to get information.
