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.

Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?

Is this the fediverse's answer to Instagram?

When a fediverse app wins, the whole fediverse wins. A rising tide lifts all ships or however it goes.

fuck it, I tried mastodon, I'll give pixelfed a try too.

Thanks to Fedilab, I can't tell the difference!

Oh you mean people don't like being shouted and cursed at for having a moderate opinion.

[–] drmoose 2 points 19 minutes ago

you're comparing apples to oranges. Lemmy is for discussions pixelfed is for posting photos.

[–] TORFdot0 2 points 1 hour ago

I mean people like mastodon and it’s full of the same takes. But on mastodon if you post a pro capitalist post to your timeline, people just ignore. Unlike on Lemmy where you have to post it on a post that’s likely to garner a response

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 hours ago

Hello from Mastodon.

All of these "talk" ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Moderately certain this is already happening, as evidenced by loops showing up so often in my "all" tab. If I understand correctly (and for the love of all that is good, someone please correct me if I'm wrong), Loops is "hosted" via pixelfed.

[–] TORFdot0 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I think you are just seeing people repost loops to Lemmy as Loops isn’t federated yet

[–] [email protected] 2 points 49 minutes ago (1 children)

Oh, is loops going to be run as a totally separate service?

I'm not well educated on their project (nor on activity pub beyond a surface level understanding), but it was my understanding that is was going to be run as a sub-service of pixelfed. Don't suppose you can point to any resources on that topic?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 34 minutes ago (1 children)

It's just in early development and hasn't federated yet.

It's a separate thing from Pixelfed though. Just developed by the same guy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 31 minutes ago (1 children)

Interesting to hear.

I'm super pumped for the project, but am largely waiting to get properly set up with it until there's a good app and I can on-board the friends and family all in one go. Really hoping to get them all off TikTok/YT Shorts/Reels/whatever corporate and nation run projects the kids are using these days.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 27 minutes ago

Have you tried it? It's in open beta. The app is already really good. I don't think it's ready for the friends and fam yet but it's worth checking out.

[–] [email protected] 119 points 6 hours ago (5 children)

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)

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (36 children)

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.

[–] Lost_My_Mind 3 points 3 hours ago

Someone called you a snowflake? Ok....uh, I'll call you a carrot.

But also, I don't understand the rules for this game. It's a snowman game, right?
