I recently discovered Pixelfed supports stories (both picture and video from what I understood) and was wondering how it works regarding federation (wasn’t quite able to find info about this apart that federation is supported).

Can I view stories posted on Pixelfed from the mastodon app for example ?

What do you think about stories in general ? It has taken over most social media apps and would be nice to have in the fediverse.

It has taken over most social media apps

A lot of the people using the "fediverse" are here because of the things that most social media shovels at it's users. I don't think I would use that as an example of why it should be available to us.

Right. I suppose the things people don’t like in traditional social media are different and we’re probably here for different reasons.

IMO ephemeral posts are interesting also because everything may not be worth archiving (and hence increase the overall impact of social media storage), I get it that we can have divergent views on this.
