Kick ass! I'm all for more Fediverse stuff getting popular, and if this has any competition, just means more features will be added across all of them.

Looks really cool, just discovered something liket his existed.
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)
I dont understand how to join or post on peertube, its the most confusing, do you host your own, is there a feed of all the servers?

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.

When a fediverse app wins, the whole fediverse wins. A rising tide lifts all ships or however it goes.
Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?
Yesterday I revived my old Pixelfed account, and I have set myself a challenge, upload one photo every day for a month.
I have plenty of photos from the last decade to pick from
I don't know if this will mean that my account will be active in the long run, but I'll give it an honest try.
I posted this earlier in the thread:

People like looking at photos of food and cats more than being railed for having "incorrect* political viewpoints? (/s for anyone not picking up on that btw:-P)
I literally just got called a snowflake in another thread for saying people should stop posting US politics in general communities. People still wonder why Lemmy has a bad reputation even in the entire Fediverse... Sometimes I wonder why I still bother here.
i just hate the way most people here assume everyone is coming from US smh

I don't disagree it's an issue, but what should be allowed in general communities? If any other nation's politics are allowed, then you can't really just not allow US politics (unless you make that a rule for the community and part of its purpose, which is fine).
There are just more Americans here than any particular other nationality, so you get more US content on average. You'll need specific non-US communities if you want to avoid it. Expecting general communities to not reflect the general audience is a little absurd.
[email protected] isn't about any country politics, it's exclusively about US politics (see the sidebar)
[email protected] should be useful information for everyone, not only US citizens

fuck it, I tried mastodon, I'll give pixelfed a try too.
Just tried to sign up for over thirty minutes, this'll always be the biggest barrier. I have an account but can't seem to login.
I’ve liked pixelfed. I don’t use it much though because my friends aren’t on it so I don’t see much of a point.

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.
I'm not sure about Lemmy, but I found this post to be a good explanation of how Pixelfed interacts with Mastodon.
Based on what it says there, I wouldn't really expect it to play-nice with Lemmy though. We might be able to access Pixelfed posts here on Lemmy, but almost certainly not the other way around - because Pixelfed requires an image in every post.
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.
