I see people question @pixelfed over @Mastodon, and that's fine (I ❤️ Mastodon, sent from Mastodon)
However I think it's important to note that Pixelfed has Stories, Collections, Portfolios and much more!
You can post pics on Twitter, but Flickr, 500px and Instagram still thrive!
Portfolios: https://portfolio.pixelfed.social/dansup
Collections: https://pixelfed.social/c/530360750719739665
Use whatever best fits you, and know that @pixelfed + @Mastodon work great together ✨
@dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon I've mostly approached it as 'Tools for the job'. I use Pixelfed for photos because it has the tools to organise, present, and deliver photos.
I use Mastodon for the 'shouting into the void', and retooting the photos on Pixelfed. (maybe I should use Mastodon for more, but I've always struggled with that side of social media).
I know that they work together, but I've not found a particular use-case, other than easy sharing, that works for me.
@dansup A couple of questions, if I may.
I imported all of my instagram photos to pixelfed (love it!) but I encountered two problems:
1. I can’t select any of those posts for my Portfolio. Is that intended, a limitation of the import nature or a bug?
2. All of the emojis and tildes (áéíóú) on photo descriptions are messed up, any way to solve/prevent this?
@dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon my problem with pixelfied is that you can’t follow hashtags, only users, which makes it feel so small. I don’t know who to follow, and following a bunch of strangers seems counterintuitive.
so I don’t. and it feels very quiet and small, and it’s hard to find things I’m interested in.
@dansup Is there anything stopping us from having "Stories, Collections, Portfolios" on other AP servers as well, and just change the frontend to suit the different use cases?
This is not a "Mastodon vs PixelFed" question, but more of a "why can't we have one single ActivityPub identity and just use different frontends"?
@dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon Total #pixelfed noob question, how does post from pixelfed that are boosted on mastodon looks like? I guess to get the most of both world this is one should be organised.
Two accounts so that more photos can be posted on pixelfed and only relevant ones will be boosted on mastodon.
Ideally if you could trigger reboost in some way from pixelfed that would be cool but not mandatory.
@brianch @dansup @pixelfed Thanks! Also I notice character limit of pixelfed apply when doing so.
Never thought of that bit. I guess ultimately fediverse compatible blog could become a thing. Share across fediverse and click on the link to view full size blog. For those who go on the blog directly they could be totally unaware of fediverse integration.
Maybe it already exist I should look for it. This is so much powerful than previous social network propositions!
@marhoff @dansup @pixelfed It already exists :) I don't know much about the fediverse blogging platforms though, but look at @yubal for example, you can view it and follow like a regular mastodon account, but if you go to the tree dots on the profile and "open original page" you'll see it's actually a blog. (the platform itself, "writefreely", is open source, but the hosting is paid)
Sorry for the random ping yubal, but I thought it was worth it to demonstrate these cool fediverse things 😅
