Mastodon supports media uploads, so why should I join Pixelfed?

When you filter out the text posts and only see photos/videos, the experience changes.

The process of capturing & editing photos/videos requires more effort and curation than a simple text-only post.

Portfolios are one example of this, a feature that gives artists, creators and photographers their own portfolio website https://portfolio.pixelfed.social/dansup

We ❤️ Mastodon, compatibility not competition is what makes the fediverse so special!

@pixelfed It would be nice to have the ability to have pixelfed be a "proxy" account that only shows images/videos from a activity feed or a way to easily also have them posted on a mastodon profile.

@bastilian @pixelfed you don't have to. You can follow Pixelfed profiles from your Mastodon account. That's the power of the Fediverse!

@Deuchnord @pixelfed I know. However, others would need to follow both profiles to get everything I post.

@bastilian @pixelfed yes, exactly as they need to follow both your Twitter and Instagram profiles if they want to see posts on them. The difference being Mastodon and Pixelfed communicate together.

@Deuchnord @pixelfed There is a toggle in Instagram to post to a connected Twitter account. ;)
