Is there interoperability between pixel fed and lemmy at all? I’m so sick of Instagram, this piques my interest
Comment on I'm aware of kbin, mastodon, and lemmy. Are there any other federated applications out there?

My favorite is PixelFed. I’m an artist, so Instagram was important for me, but for a few years now it’s absolutely terrible (no reach at all with their special algorithms). PixelFed fixes all that, it replicates the feeling of IG as it was 8-10 years ago: chronological feed, tag-based, no extraneous features. I’m really enjoying it, as I can finally grow again my followship as an artist: pixelfed.org

There is interoperability between PixelFed and Mastodon for sure. I often get a lot of likes from there, rather than PixelFed itself.

Do you have any suggestions as to how to find people on there? I have it installed and am trying it out, but I’m running into a lot of the same problems I was having on Mastodon; it seems difficult to discover engaging content.

You can follow me if you like book illustration art: pixelfed.social/EugeniaLoli Another way, is to search for tags. For example, if you like fishing, you search for that tag, and then you find ppl that post interesting fishing stuff.

Hm, is there a play store link? I’m not sure how to put an app on my phone that’s not from the playstore

Don’t know about Pixelfed specifically (dont have it installed) but you can get FDroid from the play store and then use it to install other packages not approved by googul

Not yet, because it hasn’t officially released yet. Will happen soon(ish) though I think. Some mastodon clients work with pixelfed as well, although not perfectly.
