So since I joined this Lemmy journey, I’ve started looking at other options and found Pixelfed. Does anyone here use it? How is the service? And can you link with Lemmy?

I saw it also uses the activitypub protocol, so I’m just trying to see how far this protocol reaches.

    It was one of my socials when i used to post art. It’s been a while, and my insights are extremely limited because i never used to get any engagement on any social media, let alone Pixelfed, so i’m missing litterally most of the experience.

    Anyway

    I remember it being really simple and usable. Nothing ever broke and i really liked the interface. I have no idea how federation with other social networks is supposed to work, you don’t see any Pixelfed posts on Mastodon or the opposite.

    Frankly, it’s probably the same as the rest of the fediverse: better in every way, but no one uses it.

      I was able to subscribe to users on PixelFed instances, and their photos show up on my Mastodon feed.
