Pixelfed Smashes Kickstarter Campaign Goal on Day One

[lilaorchideen@feddit.org]

follow some of the bigger hashtags to get input, from there you can branch out and follow specific accounts (and unfollow the original hashtags if you want).

a few bigger ones are bloomscrolling caturday mastoart photography silentsunday fensterfreitag

It's helpful to be able to appreciate art without worrying too much about the artist. In history the number of genius artists who were bad people - it's basically off the scale.

[ch00f@lemmy.world]

Right, but hashtags only show posts on my instance which at the moment is just me.

[lilaorchideen@feddit.org]

hmm apologies, I didn't realize that personal instances were like that. I'm on pixelfed.de so I just shared what worked for me a few days
ago.

I'm guessing you could search for a few accounts on various servers to follow directly who post with those hashtags to get the ball rolling?

[takumidesh@lemmy.world]

This isn't art, it's a platform, it's a tool more akin to engineering than painting.

Would you have this same response for x, Facebook, or truth social?

[ch00f@lemmy.world]

Yeah, but that's the thing. You can only search if you know the exact username of the user on the other server. But you can't find usernames on other servers without creating an account there.

I wish it was more like Lemmy where you can browse other instances without an account at that instance.

if you feel ok sharing your pixel then I cab follow you there, might give you an in?

If you don't hate bluesky, that's an option as well: https://fed.brid.gy/

[ch00f@lemmy.world]

Thanks!

Though I appear to be having trouble having people follow me from other servers. I don't see you in my followers list, and when I tried following a test account on another server, I didn't see their posts. Not sure what's going on. Does it just take a while for the servers to sync?

Do you see any of my posts?

[lilaorchideen@feddit.org]

I think it may take some time to sync up. Cannot see your posts (yet). I sent you a Welcome msg as dm, did you get that?

[ch00f@lemmy.world]

Yep. nothing yet.

[itjustdonn@slrpnk.net]

Patiently waiting for my application to get accepted (ಥ﹏ಥ) how long does it take on average?

[lilaorchideen@feddit.org]

still nothing on my side. Not sure if that indicates problems with you instance config or something else..

[notmyoldredditname@lemmy.world]

I read that as feces and got confused why it was pretty and all lol

[ch00f@lemmy.world]

Yeah, I think it works fine-ish for a single instance, but federation needs work.

[shardikprime@lemmy.world]

It's some pretty good shit

[die4ever@programming.dev]

Pixelfed is growing like crazy (as always make sure to read the Y-axis labels)

Hopefully they get good integration with Lemmy and get some of that content showing up over here too lol
