    Excellent. They are seeing huge growth. I’m hoping it’s sustainable, the main server is just getting slammed right now (according to the mastodon posts).

    According to fedidb all they need is 70k ish more people and I get will surpass Lemmy in number of users.

      Monthly active users is probably a more relevant metric

        Most servers do. Depends on their block/allow list and their setup.

        The software supports it, you just need to make sure one of your users has followed an account/lemmy community on the pixelfed side and make sure a lemmy account follows an account on the pixelfed side.

        Its not a perfect solution, but it gets the job done after that. (I tested this on an older version of lemmy and a new bleeding edge version of pixelfed)

        One of the biggest ongoing issues with lemmy is that all the other fediverse systems generally work together pretty well but then you get to lemmy and it works…kinda? Mostly? But there is always quirks, like only being able to post but not see comments. as I say on lemmy :). I like the platform because of the ongoing community that seems to stick around and have sustainable growth (like oooold reddit).

          OK so I went to my pixelfed.social account, searched for “@[email protected]” and clicked on the “follow” button.

          and make sure a lemmy account follows an account on the pixelfed side.

          So… does it have to be a lemmy account on lemmy.world (for [email protected], say). And is there any particular pixelfed account that the lemmy account has to follow?

          Thanks for the lead.

    The Fediverse needs UI work. The new world needs a new internet.

    I’m thankful we have this glorified hobbyist project of a micro internet, because it’s awesome. It’s time for real layout work to make things more intuitive, instead of this “just solder it” open-source-in-the-bad-way energy that sometimes gets half-assedly splattered around.

    For everybody who has and is working on the Fediverse, thank you.

      The reason I dislike this comment is it characterizes the work of many different people as “don’t care.” I would bet money that there are people who work on fediverse projects who care very deeply about UX but have to settle because they have day jobs.
