It's really too bad that Lemmy MAUs are once again on a decline curve. I was really hoping we would stabilize above 50K MAU.
Subjectively it feels more active around here lately though.
Add in the mbin/kbin mau and the piefed mau and you probably have a lot more.
Aren't they both pulling the same activitypub data?
only in theory
Pixelfed doesn't use groups/communities, so Lemmy cannot access their content since Lemmy can't follow users
(maybe you were thinking of PieFed? that's a different platform with a similar name lol)
Ugh, yeah I totally mixed the two up. Thanks for the clarification.
Im not sure piefed can as well? But it would be cool if it did.
I just tried and PieFed cannot access PixelFed posts. Mbin can do it.
Personally I don't mind the separation between some platforms, I'm fine with having 2 accounts. The UX is designed to work with the style of content anyways. But I know a lot of people want everything to work with everything.
Is it possible that because pixelfed is more like microblogs with focus on photos mbin can access them? Because mbin always has microblogs support.
I would say that Pixelfed is closer to the microblog space than it is the threaded discussion space.
It's essentially microblogging except with an image media focus (or video, in the case of Loops.)
To each their own, some people communicate better using pictures, some better over short text, some better over long-form text. There's a space for them all :smile:
Same here. Next time, hopefully
