Not surprising since half of lemmy seems to be a support group for inhalant abusers.

Does the server matter at all? Wasn't able to find a straight pixelfed.ca like I did with Lemmy, but it seems like people always end up dunking on the larger servers or defederating them because of Nazis.
It's always going to be like that; photo blogging is a lot more popular than niche forums and bulletin boards.
Also, Pixelfed has a lot more eyes on it because of Meta being in the news.
It's not a bad thing though.
Pixelfed-eral police
so how do we interact with pixelfed from lemmy or mastodon?
Yes! We need a better interface between them
I'm finding the iOS app buggy as heck. It just crashes as soon as I open it. Had to delete it. May try again later.
... which is absolutely understandable considering how lemmy is most of the time,
it's politics non-stop, one bad news after another, everyone is quick to bash somebody as either a nazi or a tankie or something else.
there aren't many places where you can discuss politics or at least try to find comfort in seeing others think somewhat same way. No wonder its all concentrating here. But there definitely should be a lot more non-politics content.
Not surprising. As long as they can afford the servers, it will probably get to Mastadon levels.
Lemmy is a replacement for reddit, and reddit was always much smaller than Instagram.
Hopefully people are willing to donate to their instances to keep them financially healthy. It'll be a pretty big issue for growth if it starts to get popular but the larger instances can't afford to stay operational and disappear.
