Pixelfed is great but it never had a mass migration like Mastodon or Lemmy. So it lacks users.
Yes, but things can change. Stories of Mastodon and Lemmy are inspiring. When Reddit backslash happened, Lemmy was already there as a good alternative for people to switch to. So was the case of Mastodon with the Twitter exodus. It's good that we've Pixelfed, it may be just a matter of time.
I'm on pixelfed, and truthfully, the lack of professional grade photos there are what actually made it great for me. I want to see ordinary photos from ordinary people. Taken during their ordinary day to day life.
