Gregory's Server@atomicpoet Maybe this it's just the wrong group of people to get excited about a service like pixelfeed? Many people came here from Twitter and that is already a different crowed compared to the majority of social media users. For example, I have an Instagram account and open the app maybe once every three to six months. Never post any pictures /upload reels. Deactivated FB years ago. Why should I join Pixelfeed? I have considered Bookwyrm as a Goodreads alternative but that's it

 @atomicpoet @pixelfed I think you are misunderstanding my point. I know what pixelfeed is. I have looked at an overview of Fediverse options after joining Mastodon last year to see if I wanted to join any other servers. But I have realized that I just don't do the things they offer. I never really used the "mainstream" version and I believe many (fomer) heavy Twitter users have similar preferences  @atomicpoet @pixelfed No, but I think that the type of person who joined Mastodon from Twitter and is now active here is not a random sample of Twitter users. And I do believe that this sub-set is much less likely to be active on Instagram, yes. For example, pixelfeed is great for people who have lost their showcase on Insta due to changes over the last couple of years. Like many artists / tatoo artists. But that is not the crowd I personally have seen migrating from Twitter |
@coatilex However, if you're not going to try a service like @pixelfed, don't ask me about it.
It takes time and effort to explain these things repeatedly. If you think you're too busy to try @pixelfed, then I'm too busy to give you a tutorial on it.
