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.

And then removed at some point, I guess.

Thanks for that deep dive! Glad to not be hallucinating.

Huh. Yeah, I can’t find it either. I guess it’s been removed. Or maybe I hallucinated it? Spooky.

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.

It just depends on how you want to use your account. I can see wanting to follow PeerTube or Loops accounts from Pixelfed. I follow a few Mastodon users who just post photos.

The default behaviour is to only show content with attached media but you can change that in settings too. So you can use it as a microblogging service if you just like the look and feel of Pixelfed.

Edit: striking out the falseness

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.

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.

The grant he’s receiving to develop it requires it to be open source.

Gleason is an infamous Fediverse villain.
