@pixelfed plus, isn't this like, the entire point of the protocol, to allow users to post on any instance and have their content show up on any compatible application connected to the fediverse network?

People should be able to post their stuff wherever and if it contains images, PixelFed should be (and for the most part, is) able to pickup and display that post with those images to their users.

I don't understand trying to coerce others into a specific instance/app on the network

@Undead_Zeratul Yeah, I don't think it comes from a malicious place, rather there is a lot of excitement for Pixelfed and there are a lot of new users to the fediverse that don't even know what the fediverse is.

@pixelfed @Undead_Zeratul I haven't seen those posts/replies, but maybe they're coming from the fact that the Mastodon® software only displays a maximum of 4 photos?

All other Fediverse software can display more than that regardless it their attachment feature is limited. So, a Mastodon® user have no idea they're actually missing a lot.

Maybe, Pixelfed can automate a short line "this post contains more than 4 photos, see more at LINK_HERE". 😁 Like what Bridgy and Wafrn did when an AP post is longer than ATproto's max 300 characters.

@pixelfed of course! It's just one of the big reasons I've been coming to love this ecosystem, and I was more trying to sing praises than criticize unnecessarily
