Gregory's ServerSomeone said, “Maybe you should explain why I should be interested in Pixelfed.”
But that could be a time suck.
So meet me halfway and tell me how likely you are to try Pixelfed if I explain it to you.

 @ch0ccyra1n Cool. Well, you should try @pixelfed because it’s the easiest, most enjoyable way to appreciate art on the Fediverse. And it’s great for image sharing, to boot!  @atomicpoet better question is why use the app. The web version is excellent. @atomicpoet still, I see these mobile apps and don't understand why I should bother  Sometimes I get people who think they’re better than @pixelfed because they prefer text posting to image posting. But that’s like arguing that you’re better because you read newspapers instead of visit art galleries. @atomicpoet @pixelfed I think this just answered my core question - pixelfed is image focussed vs mastodons primary text focus - so it would be a way to separate my primarily picture focussed feed from my primarily discussion feeds @atomicpoet @pixelfed Is there an (android) app that has an option to have different Fedi accounts display according to the fediverse server it's on? It'd make cross-account favoriting and boosting easier. I'm interested in Pixelfed, but I have to admit I don't really understand it. Specifically, why does it need to be a whole separate service as opposed to, say, a Madoston client that specializes in photo sharing? Or just a separate section of an existing Mastodon client that specializes in photo sharing (like a 'stories' kind of thing)? I feel intimadated by the idea of essentially joining a Mastodon-but-its-only-photos and rebuilding a whole new social graph just for that. What am I missing? @atomicpoet I was curious about Pixelfed, got a spot and then you helped me to get the app which improved the experience. I've really enjoyed both Mastodon and Pixelfed, they're both nice. Thanks. @atomicpoet I wasn’t aware of the fediverse until recently, even though I started my Mastodon account in 2018. Only heard about it a few months ago. I already forgot what other possibilities there are, like pixelfed. Can you share a bit about that? @heleenkuiper This Wiki article will help you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse |
@atomicpoet
Considering I was already interested in trying it, pretty likely
