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)

I literally just got called a snowflake in another thread for saying people should stop posting US politics in general communities. People still wonder why Lemmy has a bad reputation even in the entire Fediverse... Sometimes I wonder why I still bother here.

So they really want to compete then? 🧐

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

"compete" is a strong word. They can see us and we can see them. People are already posting from pixelfed to lemmy so its just pushing both platforms forward.

Is it like with Mastodon? Do I need a separate account to use Pixelfed well?

I wouldnt be into anything like Instagram so it would hardly be interchangeable with something like Lemmy (Reddit) for me. If they get more people turned on to the Fediverse than sweet

Yeah honestly the biggest change between pixelfed and mastodon is the UI. Its a very Instagram like, but simplified (at least at the moment).

Mastodon technically has more "features" but at the end of the day, it all about how people want to interact with their socials.

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago (18 children)

What are you guys posting pictures of over on pixelfed? What's goin' on over there that's so popular? Is it more politics, and social issues? Or is it cats?

Crazy enough. People are posting what they were posting on instagram.

There's a sudden influx of users from instagram and tiktok and whatnot because of the ban, zuckerberg fellating Trump, and all of that stuff going on. So the answer to "What's getting posted?" is "everything"
