What are the pros of having a Pixelfed account when you already have a Mastodon account? Stories? The reason I don't have Pixelfed is that I have Mastodon. But I'm intrigued.

@rolle no real pros for me, just vibes. Keeping the two separate just kinda makes sense to me.

@rolle I think Pixelfed is good if you like posting pictures. Mastodon lets you upload no more than 4 images on any post and it heavily compresses & shrinks them. Fine for a snap of your cat looking cute but not so good if you want to share your carefully-thought-out awesome photo or a picture of some artwork that took you weeks to draw.

@losttourist Good points!

@rolle For me, it's another platform and a 'different' set of follows & followers. It may well be my OCD and having my 'stuff' tidy. Keep up the good work . ✊🏽 💖 🇪🇺

They're the same network, slightly different interface.
You can follow them, they can follow you.
That's the whole point.

@seindal That I know. But feature-wise, I mean. Stories and the UI then perhaps.

@rolle @seindal I did not know Pixelfed had stories. I thought Loops had those.

@rolle I almost don't post photos, my Mastodon account is more for ideas. So I have a Pixelfed account just to occasionally post photos of my dog I find cute.

@rolle my thought exactly. But I made an account just to see the difference. IG style user experience, quite minimalist still (MVP). Text toots won't get shown, only images with or without text. Kinda feels like yet an other mastodon app which only shows images. So probably better for those who only are keen on images and piece of mind :).

@rolle instagram was an app to see what and how people I know are doing, like FB at the beginning. Problem with #pixelfed is it's just stream of random peoples random images, the social aspect is missing. So to me it just feels like stream of useless info which internet is full of. It would be interesting if there were familiar people. But not yet. At this point it feels like googling for random images.

@rolle Having better control over images/mediacontent. Mastodon, and fast microblogging in general, is made for disposable content.

@rolle
Collections and Portfolio features are good if you want to have some curated images up on your profile, semi-permanently. On Mastodon, you have to keep reposting them.
Obviously more focused on image content.
Also, if you want to self-host, Pixelfed is less demanding.

@rolle For me?
Instagram import and possibility to post more photos in 1 post.
Stories? Not so much.
It's a good question to ask though - I've been thinking about the pros/cons of pixelfed/mastodon vs for instance sharkey & co.
For now the development of mastodon is nice and stable, pixelfed has the archive of my instagram photos (and new photos to come), but the other *verse applications? Too tempting if another one with combined specs get a very stable release process.

I like to keep them separated so that, for example, I can share a link to a Pixelfed album without sharing my Mastodon account.

@zeroinamore Like the "media" tab? https://mementomori.social/@rolle/media

@rolle
Yes but this is still your mastodon account, isn't it? If I post some cool pics on my holidays on Pixelfed I like the possibility to share them without including my mastodon-based rants and shenanigans :)
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from zeroinamore@mastodon.bida.im
@zeroinamore Yeah. True, good point.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from rolle@mementomori.social
@rolle
Thanks! Of course it's also more appealing for people who want an instagram-style experience and are not interested in text microblogging
The good thing about interoperability is that you can easily follow them from here

@rolle It's pictures only, so no text walls.

@rolle Sometimes I just want to browse random photos. And I like the lack of influencers flooding the feed (for now) with their boringly uniform style like what you’d be force-fed in Insta.

@rolle i seldom use pixelfed, but it makes sense to have a web page collecting even the pictures i posted one year ago.
And you can view them even without a fediverse account.
I have 70 posts there against tens on thousands of posts i made on multiple microblogging instances.

@rolle i like the photo feed as it focuses on different things than my text based mastodon feed. Even less politics and venting, more cute animals and nature.

@rolle It's a place for me to post my art without anything else.

@rolle I want to be able to have one account and use different clients for different purposes. PixelFed for posting/viewing photos and video, and Mastadon (well, Moshidon) for everything else.
I don't like that PixelFed wants me to have a separate account.

@rolle One thing Mastodon doesn’t have that I would really like to have for something more picture-based is the ability to move your old posts with you when you move to a new instance.
For mostly text-based posts this might even be an undesirable feature. Not every word needs to be remembered, and even with Mastodon you can backup your posts. But if you want people to be able to find something or everything you said 15 years ago, you need to make some effort, and considering what stupid things people say, this might actually be a good thing.
With photos the best balance between the bliss of forgetting and the wish to remember is maybe more in favor of the remembering.

@rolle there are none. You can do everything a pixelfed account can and more with mastodon acct
