only in theory
Pixelfed doesn't use groups/communities, so Lemmy cannot access their content since Lemmy can't follow users
(maybe you were thinking of PieFed? that's a different platform with a similar name lol)
Im not sure piefed can as well? But it would be cool if it did.

It's really too bad that Lemmy MAUs are once again on a decline curve. I was really hoping we would stabilize above 50K MAU.
Subjectively it feels more active around here lately though.

Ugh, yeah I totally mixed the two up. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't know about you, but I've been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I'm concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.
I understood nothing you just said. Are you an alien from mars, who's almost learned english, but not quite?
Because if so......that's pretty impressive. But also, you should leave earth. Humans have been known to kill other humans for having a different skin color, or for believing in a different magical man in the sky. I can't imagine what they'd do to someone from another planet!
Earth is not tolerant of others.

Maybe because Meta is going to use your photos and all the other shit you post to train their AI models.
I think they started doing this 2 days ago, it was in the news, here in Europe at least.
I wish people cared but unfortunately it won't change anything

Same here. Next time, hopefully

Fediverse Observer checks all sites in the fediverse and gives you an easy way to find a home from a map or list or automatically.
We observe all Fediverse Sites. Find a Pixelfed site to sign up for, find one close to you using a list, map or let us auto-pick one for you!

I don't even use Pixelfed, but its growth is kind of interesting to me:
- its recent rise
- its subsequent plateau
- its (expected) ebbing
The ebb lasted a lot longer than I was rooting for. But now it seems to have caught a recent uptick. Still slight in terms of its maximum peak, but respectable: 47K Monthly Active Users. (about the same as the total number of MAUs on Lemmy!)
Furthermore, it's also reflected in the half-year Active Users, meaning it's not just people who signed in a couple months ago who are now checking back in -- looks like brand-new active participants.
Any idea what caused this? Another "migrate" campaign? Did Instagram do something stupid again? Or is it just a data glitch?
I'd love to try it at some point and check the features of it. Do they also have some sort of "reels"?

I just tried and PieFed cannot access PixelFed posts. Mbin can do it.
Personally I don't mind the separation between some platforms, I'm fine with having 2 accounts. The UX is designed to work with the style of content anyways. But I know a lot of people want everything to work with everything.

I hosted social.photo, which was a Pixelfed instance.
I had an uptick in users when I started to consider shutting down the site. It was the reason, ultimately, I decided to shut down as soon as possible. The software is awful, and I don’t want to deal with the issues multiplied by growth.
I decided to announce a shutdown by posting and hoping people see it because you can’t make an announcement to users on Pixelfed out of the box. I know there is an admin interface for it, but it doesn’t work.
Afterward, many of my new users told me they came from other instances that shut down.
This trend could be a blip as users create new accounts to migrate as they did before from their previous accounts. I know there is a user interface for this, but it doesn’t work.
Or it could be the terrible spam filter that blocks real users and allows bots. So, real users aren’t there to report bots. This is compounded by an uptick in new hype instances. These are sometimes poorly moderated instances full of bots awaiting returning interest from their owners to get cleaned up or closed.
Or it’s real!

Is it possible that because pixelfed is more like microblogs with focus on photos mbin can access them? Because mbin always has microblogs support.

I would say that Pixelfed is closer to the microblog space than it is the threaded discussion space.
It's essentially microblogging except with an image media focus (or video, in the case of Loops.)
To each their own, some people communicate better using pictures, some better over short text, some better over long-form text. There's a space for them all
