You can see it if you check https://fedidb.org/. Monthly active users have gone from just a hair under one million to somewhere around 1.4 million and still growing. How do we think this will go? How do we feel about this influx of new users? Has PixelFed done something different that Mastodon hasn’t?

I feel like I didn’t really recognize having different “platforms” like Mastodon, PixelFed, etc would give multiple opportunities for the fediverse to make a “first” impression with people.

    Nothing works on pixelfee for me. Half the photos are just black. It shows an account has a lot of posts, but I don’t see anything. Searches being up results but selecting one of those results produces zero results.

    How are y’all getting pixelfed to work?

      I could see posts and follow users and tags, but couldn’t make any posts myself and have pretty much given up now.

      What instance are you using? How are you accessing it (browser, app, etc.)?

        Pixelfed.social

        Using the app. It doesn’t even load for me on browser. I am assuming it doesn’t work on browser because of something I got in unblock because it loads on mobile browser but it’s very unresponsive on mobile browser for me.
