@pixelfed Now we only need to be able to see likes and boosts from remote people we follow ;)
@piratenpanda Update to the latest commits, we recently shipped a few federation fixes!
@pixelfed I still see 0 likes, 0 reshares for pictures from other instances than my own. It only shows 1 for my own interactions with those posts. Anything else I need to do?
@pixelfed I'm on 0.11.4-d6f46f47
@pixelfed is there any post of how to do that? I have my #pixelfed account, but I don't know how to connect to my #Mastodon account
@copdeb you don't connect. #Mastodon and #Pixelfed are living in the #fediverse, meaning, accounts from both services can interact with each other as if they were from the same service, for instance, search for your pixelfed account (e.g. @your_pixelfed_username@pixelfed_hostname) from Mastodon and you will find it and be able to follow it and, favourite and repost your posts from pixelfed, as if they were Mastodon posts.
@mahmoudajawad Thanks!! @camilo_villa look. This is a great explanation!

@copdeb @mahmoudajawad related to this, I just learned that with some apps (and I guess from the web as well, though I don't know how), you can follow a whole Mastodon or Pixelfed instance without needing to follow a certain account, for example:

https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/109355503270221285

Fedilab Apps (@[email protected])

Attached: 4 images We just noticed this funny instance, https://brands.town It's an instance for "corporate brand promotion". Accounts on there seem truthful and unusually honest :D If you want, you can follow their instance using Fedilab. Steps: 1. Open the navigation drawer 2. Go to 'Reorder timelines' 3. Press the '+' icon on top 4. Type "brands.town" and select 'Mastodon instance' 5. Press 'VALIDATE' Instance will appear in the list and when you go back, you'll see that it is pinned in the top bar

Fedilab

@camilo_villa @mahmoudajawad Wow, this is cool. Therefore one does not need to change instance if you want to catch up with the discussion of others interests.

You've resolved something that has been on my mind

@camilo_villa TIL. I tried replicating same method in #Mastodon web client but didn't find such an option. Wondering if #fedilab is implementing this client side.
@mahmoudajawad indeed! it seems like Fedilab implements many features client side. They are quite active rolling out new versions and features.

Attached: 4 images Did you find some great accounts here on #mastodon that are more visual in nature, such as #photography or #art, and you'd like a more #instagram like experience? No problem, the #fediverse can do that. Just use #pixelfed 1 - Find an instance at https://pixelfed.org then register an account 2 - login, copy and paste the fedi address from mastodon into the search bar of #pixelfed 3 - Follow That's it! *Please boost if you find this useful for anyone else:)

Mastodon
@copdeb @pixelfed they are still 2 separate services so the won't connect as one account, but you can follow your #pixelfed account from #mastodon and if you'd like to share posts from there to your #mastodon followers you can simply boost it:)
@pixelfed I couldn't register on the app so I went to the website and tried twice to register and got this error twice. Arg.
@pixelfed Would be nice if all Pixelfed-Features could be supported via native Mastodon/Fediverse functions and vice-verse 👀
Having to create two separate accounts that aren't directly linked kinda goes against the whole point of a federated network...
@pixelfed Whoa, new landing page. Looks slick, guys. 🫀
@pixelfed is such a cool project, and I'm glad for it existing. We actually host our favicon for #tilvids through it! 😂
@pixelfed make it work in Vero, Instagram is a passed station.
@pixelfed is there a good way to browse without signing up? Like I'm on mastodon, but I'm not sure who to follow on pixelfed. Should I just make a pixelfed account to find people to follow from Mastodon?
@pixelfed I really wanna try Pixelfed out but every time I try to sign up the email never arrives. Not in my spam either. I’ve tried a couple servers now, same thing. I few cursed…

@pixelfed is it possible to use one account? Maybe if they’re on the same server? Would be neat to just have two front ends for one account.
@trisweb @pixelfed That’s what I was trying to figure out too, but it doesn’t seem possible? 🤷‍♂️
@schumatt @trisweb @pixelfed ye me too!
How do I follow pixelfed account from this one?
@pixelfed I think it makes more sense to say it the other way around but either way I'm glad to be a part of it

@pixelfed you can and I do it 😁 my Pixelfed account @chaica is linked to my Mastodon @carlchenet account, allowing me to boost directly my Pixelfed post with images on Mastodon. Awesome 😎🫶

#pixelfed #fediverse

@pixelfed this is the example that I gave to my friends who are outsiders to #fediverse. And every single time they’re fascinated with the idea.
@pixelfed How can I get my server listed on pixelfed.org/servers?
