📢 📢"HARDCORE PIXELFED USERS" 📢📢
What do you think about creating a voluntary "discover system" for sharing (linking) other people's photos and accounts?

Reasons behind this idea:
1. often, by chance, I discover good photographers and I'm like: "how have I missed this until now?"
2. boosts/reblogs don't work;
3. the Discover page only shows the top accounts all the time (same 7-8 people??). Which is great, they take briliant photos and deserve to be there. But it's not a Discover page, is it? It's a TOP/Trending page.

My thoughts so far:
1. Come up with an hashtag and make it a weekly event (like caturday, doorsday, monochromemonday...you get the idea);
2. Publish a post with links to fediverse photos/accounts we like and keep it there for at least 48 hours;
3. 100% voluntary, no pressure, just giving back to the community.

What do you think? Is it a stupid idea? How to improve on it?
Let me know in the comments.


RIP Yellow Mug btw, who died in the sink last week 🪦

That's a great idea. The only viable way for me to find other photographers is by looking through local and global feeds, but some photographers upload photos ocassionally and can be easily missed.
exactly! but I find myself looking at Local/Global a lot less these days as the home feed is already very busy.
