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 I don't know if it's what you're asking, but you can follow pixelfed accounts. They will show up in your timeline of mastodon :)

@cibersheep That is neat, yes, but what I would want is for followers to not have to follow both, but be able to push updates from pixelfed to another profile, without posting or boosting manually.
