I am looking for recommendations of which #pixelfed server to join. I am a writer so I guess most I will be doing is lurking, see at what other writers and reviewers share and liking cat pictures. I do have cat pictures of my own which I might share as well... And probably gush about my characters because: How can I not?

@strangeseawolf
Yeah, I'd be obnoxiously posting Valheim pics and marketing images for my books...
Do you want that, people of the Fediverse?

@Firlefanz I am sure the #Valheim maniacs are out there, waiting for them! 👍

@strangeseawolf
I still need to figure that out, to be honest.
Step 1: Make an account on pixelfed, right?
Step 2: No idea, connect it to my Mastodon account?
Step 3: Post what where?
(Actually, the question is, do I need to post in two different accounts?)

@Firlefanz I will figure that out once I found which server to hop on. They are all here, as far as I understood: https://fedidb.org/software/pixelfed

@Firlefanz I know I could just hop on the .social one and then later move but, IDK, I'd like to have one that already resonates with me.

@Firlefanz @strangeseawolf
You don't need a new account. You can subscribe to people on pixelfed from here. It's kinda like email. Lots of servers, but they all talk the same.
You could try subscribing to someone like @dansup for example.

@shaknais @Firlefanz @dansup Oh, now, THAT's cool. Thank you!:11111:

@shaknais
Yeah, no, I also want to post pics.
@strangeseawolf @dansup

@Firlefanz @shaknais @dansup I just did it. @StrangeSeawolfPix Was not a big problem to set up. Still fiddling around but I think it works great. only downside so far: i can't put focus points which isn't a problem on pixelfed but on Mastodon it looks a bit odd, at least in the tuba app.

You don't need to make 2 accounts, like, if you just wanna follow Pixelfed people, you can do it from your Mastodon account/Friendica/Fediverse account. If you post mostly text? I don't think Pixelfed is right for you. If you post pictures and or videos more than text, yes. I believe Pixelfed people can follow us from their own instances too so it works out! @Firlefanz @strangeseawolf

@WeirdWriter @Firlefanz That's very good to know and consider. Thank you so much! :11111:

@WeirdWriter @Firlefanz @strangeseawolf For posting images you need an account on a pixelfed server. Smart tip: follow your pixelfed account from your masto-account and boost your pictures from masto. That is how I do it.
You do indeed NOT need an account to FOLLOW pixelfed accounts.

@paul @WeirdWriter @Firlefanz Thank you. I will probably create an account on pixelfed.social just to see how it works...

@strangeseawolf
You click New Post.
Upload an image. Add alt text. Add a description. Mark NSFW is needed. Add to a collection if you want. Click post.
The feed is like Masto, home feed, local feed, all the feeds. Very similar.
@WeirdWriter @Firlefanz

@strangeseawolf
Maybe I should make two accounts:
One for Valheim.
One for my books.

@Firlefanz @strangeseawolf
I'm just posting Cyberpunk 2077 pictures for the moment.😅

@AnnaSaultron @Firlefanz I can't find fault in this endeavor! :peace:

@strangeseawolf @Firlefanz I guess I will expand over time. But few games I play have such a great Fotomode on consoles or can be modded in consoles.

@Firlefanz YES! Why not? Go for it!

@strangeseawolf You don't need a pixelfed account to see what pixelfed users are posting. This is the fediverse, it's all connected. You can follow pixelfed users from other fediverse servers, such as mastodon, friendica, gotosocial etc... Getting an account on a pixelfed server is mostly useful if you intend to post lots of pictures and would like the additional features for posting images that pixelfed offers.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from gmc@chasmcity.net
@gmc Oh, that's good to know. Perhaps I make an account just to see how it all works. I had done some small videos for my book over at instagram but I am not sure if I really want to do that again, anyway. It was more because that was what everybody else did. Thank you for the clarification! :11111:
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from strangeseawolf@mindly.social
@strangeseawolf You're welcome :) You are probably already following one or more pixelfed users without even knowing it :)
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from gmc@chasmcity.net
@gmc Ha! That is very well possible! 😆
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from strangeseawolf@mindly.social
@gmc @strangeseawolf so this is something that I haven't gotten a grasp of since joining Mastodon. How do I discover pixelfed accounts I want to follow? Do I just have to wait till I randomly cross one while scrolling through all federated posts? Or is there a way to scroll through posts specifically made on pixelfed (or any other service for that reason)
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Netrunner_Zer0@urusai.social
@Netrunner_Zer0 @strangeseawolf Well, no, you can't specifically search for pixelfed profiles in mastodon as far as I know. You could just go to any pixelfed server, I suppose, and browse the public timeline of that server.
But why would you want to follow pixelfed profiles specifically? Not judging, just curious. Is it because you want to see photography? You could use hash tags (searching for or following, see https://fedi.tips/what-are-hashtags-how-do-i-use-them-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/) for that as well quite effectively.

@gmc @strangeseawolf more out of curiosity than anything. I'm just trying to understand how everything works together. Thanks for the link, I'll check that out
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Netrunner_Zer0@urusai.social
@Netrunner_Zer0 @gmc Yeah, that's what I did. I went to https://pixelfed.social/ and looked around.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from strangeseawolf@mindly.social
@strangeseawolf If you don't plan on posting, I'm not sure you need one. You can follow, like and reply to Pixelfed accounts from Mastodon.

@lrhodes Yeah, I am playing around with it and let's see where it goes.
