I almost never look at the app store but I popped in today in the wake of the TikTok ban and was shocked to see this.
Does anyone know if you can only have one pixelfeed account per email address? I want to make one for personal use and one just my garden pictures?
Why won't you be able to create two accounts?
Some systems tie one email address to one account only. Just wondering. I'll try it out to see i guess
As someone who doesn't use these platforms (except Twitter), why does Pixelfed's UI look just like Instagram, and why does Bluesky's UI look just like Twitter? Are they just cut/paste copies?
They're not cut/paste copies, they're rebuilt from the ground up. The UI is similar because they want to retain familiarity and decrease barriers to entry. Much like Lemmy.

Can somebody help an old out here. I want to look at pictures of art people make and stuff like that. I really don't care about some randos selfies. Right now, there are image heavy lemmy groups that fit that bill. Should I go check out Pixelfed for more content? Or is it a fediverse Instagram thing only?
Lemmy really works for me in the sense of following topics instead of people.
Pixelfed doesn't have any sort of "communities" or other way to curate content (not even hashtags) so you're just going to see whatever people are posting.
As another commentor mentioned, you can join a specific instance intended for a specific type of post, but there's nothing stopping someone from joining there and posting selfies other than good will.
Pixelfed.art is all artists posting their work!
Wow, I just followed the link and browsed a little bit. There's some really amazing stuff there!
I only heard of Pixelfed because of a post somewhere that was saying Facebook was blocking links to the website. I made an account and started using it for fun to spite Facebook. Now this could have simply been a bait post to drive engagement to Pixelfed **or ** Facebook is dumb and did some kind of Streisand effect.
It doesn't matter either way
And if you didn't already know, you now know about the Streisand effect.

I've never used the official app for PixelFed, I'm just on Fedilab for both it and Mastodon... is the PixelFed app worth a look?
It's pretty terrible tbh, I keep having to go back to the browser.
Give Fedilab a try. I've been using it for about a year now; it's been pretty smooth and straight forward.
I dunno. I don't really even care much for PixelFed myself.
Weird, I don't see it. Instead, I see a bunch of proprietary apps.
You have a very long phone
Samsung phones have this cool feature where you take screenshot and then you can extend this screenshot by tapping a button.
I've never seen that before. That's a good feature.
It's under the social feed.
Or maybe it can be because I have a Slovak account.
EDIT: It's 43rd in Slovakia.
It is because I'm Slovak since Facebook is one of the most downloaded social media here
