Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

I dunno, I only follow capybarabot.

[suoko@feddit.it]

So they really want to compete then?
🧐

[mesamunefire@lemmy.world]

"compete" is a strong word. They can see us and we can see them. People are already posting from pixelfed to lemmy so its just pushing both platforms forward.

[cheese_greater@lemmy.world]

I wouldnt be into anything like Instagram so it would hardly be interchangeable with something like Lemmy (Reddit) for me. If they get more people turned on to the Fediverse than sweet

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)

[mesamunefire@lemmy.world]

My dog. no really, hes a good boy.

And I follow one of the people from an Aquarium with fantastic shots.

There's a sudden influx of users from instagram and tiktok amd whatnot because of the ban, zuckerberg fellating Trump, and all of that stuff going on. So the answer to "What's getting posted?" is "everything"

[mesamunefire@lemmy.world]

Yeah honestly the biggest change between pixelfed and mastodon is the UI. Its a very Instagram like, but simplified (at least at the moment).

Mastodon technically has more "features" but at the end of the day, it all about how people want to interact with their socials.

[mesamunefire@lemmy.world]

Its nice right now...Hope it stays.

[spaduf@slrpnk.net]

Crazy enough. People are posting what they were posting on instagram.

[breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca]

[volumetricshitcompressor@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Is it like with Mastodon? Do I need a separate account to use Pixelfed well?

[simple@lemm.ee]

I literally just got called a snowflake in another thread for saying people should stop posting US politics in general communities.

[southendsunset@lemm.ee]

Everything. It’s like early days Instagram, but people are more politically and socially aware, and posting about those things.

[mesamunefire@lemmy.world]

Also does anyone know how to get the post into lemmy? Im having issues importing other fediverse posts so I had to direct link.

For example on mastodon/pixelfed/etc... I can pull the remote url and create a post/share. It seems specific to lemmy.world. On other lemmy platforms, I can see posts, just older ones.

[mesamunefire@lemmy.world]

Actually I believe you can use Mastodon as the login in this case: https://pixelfed.blog/p/2023/feature/introducing-sign-in-with-mastodon-streamlining-sign-up-and-login-on-pixelfed

I posted a guide to modding a tatacon for taiko no tatsujin

[apathy@lemmy.world]

That’s the neat part! Lemmy doesn’t allow that. Best bet to move over to another instance if you like that type of integration.

[comrade_spood@slrpnk.net]

From what I have found, its almost all photos of animals and nature. Honestly I am kinda disappointed. I want memes. I also got onto Loops and that is also mostly animals and nature, but with the very occasional funny.

[michaelc@social.rootaccess.org]

@atomicpoet just FYI. I couldnt figure out how to get the post directly in lemmy.world but thought I would mention it for you.
