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

Good for pixelfed

Hell yeah! 2025 is the year of the linux Fediverse desktop!

People share photos and videos all the time on mastodon. What is the difference with pixelfed?

Neat, is there a way to share from Immich to Pixelfed?

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.

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

Is this the fediverse's answer to Instagram?

My feed on Pixelfed is way better the second week, now that I've followed a couple dozen folks and put some posts out there.

And pro tip: Post and tag a cute picture of your pet and people will see your account.

Looks really cool, just discovered something liket his existed.

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)

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

Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?

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.

If you look at monthly active users instead of total users, Pixelfed is a strong 2nd place.

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

Nice.

I'm just worried a lack of content discovery, (foss) algorithms, other features and consistent development will have an adverse effect on this new growth. I'm glad that Dan finally got the apps on the stores at a critical moment though or we wouldn't even be here.

Everything helps.

No corporations in social media. No venture capital in social media.

I don't know if Lemmy is for everyone, but I'm very happy to see the fedicerse gaining more traction.

Every user that onboards to pixelfed is going to now understand how to set up mastodon.

Blue sky is basically trying the exact same thing and expecting a different result.

Misskey seems really popular looking at numbers. I'm confused because nobody talks about it. Is it because of some niche super active audience?

What are the top 2? Mastodon and what else?

Whats pixelfed all about? Im only now hearing about it.

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

So they really want to compete then? 🧐

Still feels empty

Also does anyone know how to get the post into lemmy? Im having issues importing other fediverse posts so I had to direct link. I would rather the owner of the post get recognition and likes/shares show up in mastodon/activityhub rather than just a static link on lemmy if possible.

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.

Anyone have success joining pixelfed.art? Still waiting to get approved over a week later.

SPLITTERS!

yay i guess?

What made the boom?

I want to use it more but the android app never works. What's the deal? Keeps saying it's trying to connect to an outdated instance of pixelfed.social.
