#Pixelfed and Mastodon are both part of the Fediverse, which means you can follow Pixelfed accounts from Mastodon and Mastodon accounts from Pixelfed.

For example @Iancylkowski is a Pixelfed account but you can follow it and interact with its posts within Mastodon by just clicking on it. You can see what this account looks like on its own server at https://pixelfed.social/Iancylkowski

There are many different kinds of server on here, and they connect together to form a single network called the Fediverse.

Can anyone suggest managed hosting companies that offer Pixelfed? So far I've just got Weingärtner:

Any others? Preferably ones that offer support in English?

@pixelfed was mentioned in a Daily Show skit. Hopefully we can all take a joke, but a mention of a fediverse platform on a popular syndicated show is something!

[edit: linking profile for server federation discovery @lily]

#Pixelfed is getting talked about on TikTok as an alternative to #Instagram.

Almost every video about it has people in the comments saying "Why do I have to pick a server? What does that mean?"

Either people are just dumb beyond help, or we need to do better at onboarding people to the #fediverse.

Edit: I love the ideas and discussions this post is stirring up!

I'm seeing a lot of talk about #Pixelfed this week. Many regard it as a viable alternative for Instagram.

But it also works very nicely for a graphic art portfolio site, which is closer to how I'm using mine:

https://px.filmfreedom.net/@lunatics

For this, the "Collections" feature is very nice. I have collections for "Tests", "Stills", "Characters", and "Design", and I can add more.

And there's a "Portfolio" view, accessible from my profile.

More restful than a site always pushing stuff on you!

good time to create a second #Pixelfed account

I’m caught up in this #Pixelfed frenzy, just got trends to show up in #Fedicat

Pixelfed is a great picture sharing app that is currently experiencing explosive growth. People are saying, it reminds them of the early days of Instagram before it was enshittified.

https://lifehacker.com/tech/pixelfed-the-ad-free-instagram-alternative-now-has-a-smartphone-app

But growth like this costs money, and here there are no deep pocket VCs writing big checks. Public social media depends on community support:

Here is the simplest way to rush #Pixelfed a one-time donation:
