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

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"
-
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.

Its nice right now...Hope it stays.

Crazy enough. People are posting what they were posting on instagram.
-
Is it like with Mastodon? Do I need a separate account to use Pixelfed well?
-
I literally just got called a snowflake in another thread for saying people should stop posting US politics in general communities.

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

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
-
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. -
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.

@atomicpoet just FYI. I couldnt figure out how to get the post directly in lemmy.world but thought I would mention it for you.
-
I thought I could do that on other lemmy instances?
-
Edited, apologies

Misskey seems really popular looking at numbers. I'm confused because nobody talks about it.
Is it because of some niche super active audience? -
I guess I am a snowflake too then, bc to me consent should matter. And while the USA is a part of the world, and also has an oversized effect upon it due to the size of the economy and trade deals and the like, it also can be overwhelming for some, who feel ostracized and left out as if only the big guys (and guns) matter.
But on the other hand, it is known that moderation sucks across the vast majority of Lemmy - it's somewhat baked right into the tools themselves, e.g. removing whole posts rather than merely taking them out of the community lists but allowing people to continue their discussions already begun, as Reddit does.
So you may want to take it upon yourself to either start blocking by keywords (maybe find an app that allows that - I'm not sure which ones), or user accounts that do that, or even find a better community to engage with.
Though I agree with your conclusion: I no longer recommend Lemmy to people irl by virtue of having been burned by that far too many times before. We're toxic AF in this Alt-Left (rather than Alt-Right) "Nazi bar" space, and a lot of the people here are legit those banned from Reddit for exactly that behavior.

What are the top 2? Mastodon and what else?
