What's considered best practice for multiple images on Pixelfed?

Hey #Pixelfed users, if I have a bunch of images from an event I'd like to share, what's the best way? One post per image? Group images into themes of 1–2? All images in as few posts (max 8 per post on my instance) as possible?

Also, does anyone know how to get them to show up in a Lemmy community, or what that'll look like? How do "Collections" factor into it? @pixelfed

I don't have a preference personally. The only issue would be if you make a whole bunch of posts all back to back (5+), that could flood someone's chronological feed.

Individual images spaced out, grouped posts, all fine by me :)

I'm not sure about collections, but there's supposed to be a groups feature in the works.

In the meantime, I'd recommend you make a Lemmy post with one or all the images, and link your Pixelfed account/post somewhere

@otter oh hmm. Just realised that groups announcement is nearly a year old. Seems like Pixelfed has undergone a lot of change in the last 12 months, so I wonder if that's been scrapped/deprioritised in the meantime.

I found this: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/114562535059130491

Bold

Custom Feeds, Kits, Groups

Beautiful

HDR, Masonry layouts, Portfolios 2.0, Collections 2.0

Better

Client caching (faster UX + reduced backend load), Accessibility/i18n, SPA or SSR, WebPush

The new @pixelfed webUI is amazing, and I didn't even mention the new photography features 👀

We'll be testing the beta on a pixelfed.social subdomain next week, and yes, you can too.

So it looks like groups functionality is coming up, and it is separate from collections, which is getting a redesign. I'll have to investigate exactly what those new changes are, but it is exciting regardless!

@otter yeah that back-to-back flooding is what I wanted to avoid. Plus it'd be nice if the images are associated with each other on the platform, hence thinking about collections. But tbh I don't have any idea how collections show up.

My other hope is to avoid duplication by posting the same images multiple times on different platforms. I *think* I've seen that mentioning a Lemmy Community will cause a post to be shared to Lemmy? Possibly only with the "cover" image showing up to Lemmy users?
