The reports are coming in from all over the Fediverse. While pixelfed.social is understandably working to accommodate the huge influx of new users, other Pixelfed instances are operating just like normal.

Users report these Pixelfed servers are running just fine:

https://gram.social/
https://pixey.org/
https://pixelfed.au/
https://pixelfed.art/
https://pixelfed.de/
https://pixel.infosec.exchange/

Don't worry about being on the main insrance, all Pixelfed servers talk to each other.

@mastodonmigration
My home instance.. https://metapixl.com also seems to be running well. #Pixelfed

[rosita@mastodon.scot]

@mastodonmigration also pixelfed.scot

[bllgvn@twit.social]

@mastodonmigration I've been thinking about moving my account off of Pixelfed.social, had it there for over a year and @dansup has been doing a great job with everything, I have no complaints, I just can't decide if this would be a help to him or extra server load that he doesn't need right now.

@bllgvn @dansup

Not a bad idea.

Distribution is our superpower.

@mastodonmigration

Where is this current exodus coming from?

[kevinrns@mstdn.social]

@mastodonmigration

DONATE! Donate big. This is a bloom of freedom, empowerment, and rejection of corporate control, surveillance, manipulation and cost.

Pixelfed servers are holding on, help appreciated.

@mastodonmigration is it possible to follow threads account on Pixelfed?

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@Jared @mastodonmigration It’s mostly for image sharing, so not really applicable. And I expect federating with threads will not be encouraged.

[jared@retro-gaiden.com]

@wendinoakland @mastodonmigration if they post a picture in a post it should show up in Pixelfed in the same way it does for a Mastdon account pic will show up in my Pixelfed

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@Jared @mastodonmigration “They” you mean threads? The whole idea here is really to be disconnected from Meta. If you’re comfortable with their apps and terms of service, that’s a different matter.

[jared@retro-gaiden.com]

@wendinoakland @mastodonmigration a person on threads

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@Jared @mastodonmigration Yeah, no.

[mastodonmigration@mastodon.online]

@wendinoakland @Jared

So then no. Nothing posted on Threads will show up on Pixelfed. Thanks Wendy.

Edit: Maybe Pixelfed federation with threads is instance dependent? Will try to find out more.

[el_haych2024@mastodon.social]

@mastodonmigration I can confirm pixelfed.au works well.

[sri@mastodon.social]

@mastodonmigration so tiktok dying people are looking at pixelfed as the new solution?

[mastodonmigration@mastodon.online]

@sri

Not exactly. A few days ago Facebook made the mistake of blocking links to Pixelfed. This generated a 'Steisand Effect' response. This has also all exacerbated by a backlash against Mark Zuckerberg for his recent actions regarding moderation on Meta.

[kajou@mastodon.design]

@mastodonmigration pixelfed.fr is also doing fine!
