@dansup @Gargron (edit) For me adding group is a good idea to connect people with same passions. However, adding text-only posts is not a wise move. I agree with @Gargron as photo posts are Pixelfed's selling points. Even I hate mentioning Meta products, let me compare Facebook and Instagram. The youths nowadays are preferring Instagram over Facebook as shown in my screenshot.

Maybe I am in the minority, but I really don't think that is an issue for the server software. This idea of "one account for pixelfed to post photos, another on mastodon for text posts, another on write.as for longer blog posts, funkwhale to follow music channels" just leads to excessive fragmentation and balkanization.

I'd rather have only one account with a server that can create all kinds of ActivityPub objects and let the *clients/frontends* make the filtering.

@dansup
I know you're not asking me, but as a person who is on Pixelfed to enjoy pictures and post the nicest images I can make, I don't see a need to disable text posts.

I'll never make one, but I don't resent them. If I change my mind, perhaps an option to filter them out would be cool.

@dansup @Gargron dan i think i mentioned this a while back but how do you feel about the idea of keeping text posts out of the timeline and in their own separate feature? like itunes ping, basically -- photo posts are the main bread and butter, but artists can make text-based status updates that show up on their profile and/or appear in a separate timeline.
