I thought misskey was higher? maybe because people mostly use forks?
I didn't expect peertube to be that high.
Surprised Lemmy is so low tbh. It feels pretty active here to me!
This goes to show that you do not need millions of people to have a good community.
Pixelfed’s time to shine. We all succeed with this one!
Hopefully the whisperings of Lemmy gets into the ears of folks.
It's a great opportunity for #pixelfed to add #group support, so those sharing their videos can share it directly to a community/magazine reaching to a wider audience. Same for #loops. Obviously, not at the moment, where everyone is trying to keep things up and running. @[email protected]
Pixelfed still has to fix really basic stuff first. Like pulling changed profile pics from remote instances, federating properly and consistently, not having three different UIs from different stages of development at once, making sure settings do what they’re supposed to do…
Waiting for the resurrection of Reddit VS Instagram meme war as Lemmy VS Pixelfed
Sad the dude behind it is kind of a Jerk. Was bullying a kid on Mastodon just a few weeks back and he got a bunch of backlash for it. Dude also got a bit of a Messiah complex, had to unfollow him 🥴
Yup. Been following Dan for a while and this has only gotten worse. Problem is, his attitude absolutely informs the way he manages and handles his projects. Even one glance at the issues page for Pixelfed shows that.
I think at some point, a lot of the Fedi will realise that toxicity and hopefully we’ll see fork efforts like Pixelfed-glitch get more support. Because Pixelfed and Loops are good ideas, executed by someone who really doesn’t have the ability to properly execute on them. I don’t anticipate that these current user numbers will stay given the current, quite broken, state of Pixelfed.
Pixelfed is great, but it needs developing…some pics don’t load, comments don’t comment, likes don’t like. I’d love it if this got fixed, dark mode got added, more users and other bits and pieces. Are you saying that this won’t happen then?
Also a shame to find out he’s a prick.
Please let’s not start the personal attacks on the developers. Lemmy was a shit storm of that and it really sucked when I joined. Take the gift of the software and move on.
Yeah there is something very ironic about commenting this on Lemmy
I mean no shade at you, like morality is subjective. But Imma still do me, Im greedy like that when it comes to what I expect out of people.

So wait, is it like using lemmy? I mean with choosing a server for your account. (Looks lke it, yes) ~~Does it have a "front page" like lemmy~~? (It does)
~~Is it subject oriented, or person to person like twitter~~. (Person oriented, and tags for subjects)
Edit: Im editing in (my findings) while taking a looksee.
Edit. F it. i signed up.
It's basically mastodon with a different front end. No fundamental differences.
That's good to know thanks. I don't use mastodon or anything like Twitter/Facebook.
I was never one to use Instagram, specifically because of the meta bullshit... looks like maybe I'll try pixelfed as a first time for the format.
If someone would have told me this like a couple of years back, back when most people (besides the foss community) didn’t know about it, I deffo wouldn’t have believed you lol.
It’s nice to see some alternatives getting promoted though.
That number has to be low. There's been nearly 200k new signups in the last few days. Pixelfed's blowing up right now. The local feed on p.s is a never-ending stream of first posts.
I never tried PixelFed and just signed up to pixel.tchncs.de. As a client I downloaded Pixelix from F-Droid. Now I'm there with an empty feed. How do I get started?
There's a section with trending profiles and one with trending hashtags but both sections seem to have pretty generic content like #art, #photography, #photos etc.
Don't get me wrong, it's nice photographies and all but it feels really anonymous and a bit random to me. Is this the normal PixelFed experience or am I doing it wrong?
Scroll the local feed. Search hashtags and follow hashtags you're interested in. As with Mastodon, your home feed will be empty until you follow people.

Time for me to jump onto the bandwagon. You'll never know because it will not be under this pseudonym.
Maybe someone can help me out. I'm in the app, is there a way to see a feed from all of pixelfed and not just local? I'm on pxlmo.com
There isn't, unfortunately. Global shows you all of the Fediverse, not just Pixelfed. A global pixelfed feed was a planned feature at one point but I'm not sure of its status.
For now, it's really hard to find pixelfed users on other servers because they get drowned out by all the Mastodon traffic.
Global shows you all of the Fediverse
Does it show Lemmy posts tho? It doesn't seem to... Also it looks like it only shows image posts from Mastodon... (not criticizing it, just noting.)
I'm not sure. I don't think I've ever seen a Lemmy post there, though I haven't spent a ton of time on that TL. It might be different because all Lemmy posts are posted to groups which aren't supported by Pixelfed yet. That's just a guess though.
Yeah I don't think pixelfed global supports Lemmy -- I've seen a couple image posts on Lemmy in the past 10 minutes that didn't show up on pixelfed global. So I guess they miss out on our memes and shitposts lel.
That's weird, why would you want to see other fediverse content in Pixelfed? Surely it should be all Pixelfed content like op expects.
Lots of great artists are on Mastodon instances, like mastodon.art. Including their image posts means you can see some really good paintings.

On the top right is a user icon. Click that and then choose Global
What's the best Pixelfed instance?
https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/list
If I made an account, I'd sort by "active users" and select one of the top 5.

What is it?
Fediverse version of imgur?
Instagram IIRC
You got it right, like Friendica for FB
