Gotta say, the biggest reason I'm not on Pixedfed is because I was told that I could migrate my instagram content, but the two instances I signed up for had that option disabled. I can't seem to find an instance that tells you upfront if it's allowed or not, and I've already wasted enough time on it.
I've picked on Pixelfed's join page in detail before at length. I think you'd be on board with my suggestions.
Speaking of complaints we have about the fediverse...
You linked to a post on sh.itjust.works, but I'm on slrpnk.net, so if I want to interact with it, I have hoops to jump through first.
Itβs just the default front end that does that. Using a front end like voyager can automatically redirect links to the instance you are signed in on, more apps and the default front end ought to do that quite frankly
Or I would have had hoops to jump through to get the lemmy.world link where that comment is (nominally) hosted. There's a chainlink icon and a technicolor pentagram icon, neither of those do it. I either have to manually go to lemmy.world's website, find the comment there, copy the link from there, come back to my account at sh.itjust.works and post it, or I post a sh.itjust.works link and send everyone on an indirect path. It's...not good.
