My feed on Pixelfed is way better the second week, now that I've followed a couple dozen folks and put some posts out there.
And pro tip: Post and tag a cute picture of your pet and people will see your account.
They need some starter packs like BlueSky because all I’m seeing are some art photography highly likely ai generated - and I have no idea where to find content that has any value. On searching the hashtags I’m getting mastodon posts containing links that can’t be clicked.
Is this the fediverse's answer to Instagram?
Yes.
-Instagram has pixelfed. -Reddit has lemmy -X has Mastodon/Misskey/Pleroma (&forks..) -Tiktok has loops (app still super rough around the edges and sadly on limited to one instance rather than having its own software from what i understand) -Youtube has peertube (so far the least used i think)
Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?
When a fediverse app wins, the whole fediverse wins. A rising tide lifts all ships or however it goes.
fuck it, I tried mastodon, I'll give pixelfed a try too.
Thanks to Fedilab, I can't tell the difference!
Is there any integration with Lemmy? Cross promotion would be awesome, and something big tech can’t actually do.
I am but a humble end user using the web interface, but I do know mastodon comments can somehow show up on Lemmy.
Hello from Mastodon.
All of these "talk" ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.
How are you responding from masto without the @ ?
I've never seen that before
The @ is only required for making posts on Lemmy from Mastodon, not replies AFAIK.
Oh you mean people don't like being shouted and cursed at for having a moderate opinion.
you're comparing apples to oranges. Lemmy is for discussions pixelfed is for posting photos.
I mean people like mastodon and it’s full of the same takes. But on mastodon if you post a pro capitalist post to your timeline, people just ignore. Unlike on Lemmy where you have to post it on a post that’s likely to garner a response
