It's quite good, in my opinion. If we had some bridge to lemmy's posts, it would be even better. Also I've checked and if you like or comment a mastodon post from Pixelfed you'll receive the notification, so, it's somethingπ€·ββοΈ.

You can post from PixelFed into Lemmy but you won't see replies and that's too bad.
Nothing works on pixelfee for me. Half the photos are just black. It shows an account has a lot of posts, but I don't see anything. Searches being up results but selecting one of those results produces zero results.
How are y'all getting pixelfed to work?

Its' pretty great.
As with the time I joined Mastodon, it takes a couple of weeks to find what you like and build up a good feed, but once you do that, it's useful and fun. I wish it had more curation tools, but I enjoy it.

How do I feel?
I was following my Lemmy rule and hunting out smaller instances rather than pile into the biggest one.
tried 4 separate smaller instance sign ups and never got a single one of them to work and send me a verification email, so I kinda gave up....
We just need to explain federation to them
Haven't really gotten around to checking it out yet. TBH I can read a lot faster than most videos explain concepts.
Is there a way to peruse pixelfed feeds from Lemmy or Mastodon? Or do I have to make yet another account?

Gonna check this out. Looks interesting thanks.
I find it sort of shocking that you didn't think people who use different types of social media would be swayed by non-micro blogging specific platforms. Nobody wants to join the fediverse because it's the fediverse. They want to join something that's fun and similar to what they're used to.
Micro blogging sucks. I hate it. I've always hated Twitter and none of that hate has come from anything related to who has owned it or their policies. I've just genuinely never felt a desire to communicate with 280 characters (historically 140). The discussion threads are also garbage and all over the place. Why would someone who is used to platforms like Reddit or Instagram want to use Mastodon?
Has PixelFed done something different that Mastodon hasn't?
Yes, it's done "not be a micro blogging platform".
I'm aware Mastodon doesn't always have the same character limits that Twitter does, but that's apart from the point.

We feel good.
If it brings more diversity, Iβm all for it. If it makes it even more super left psycho Echo chamber-y then it will just be annoying.
As we've proven, actual leftists can't really create an echo chamber because we vehemently disagree with each other on everything.

The mood and anger here is starting to feel like Reddit recently and now I know why
