From what I can tell, the culture on pixelfed is more chill, whimsical, artsy.
While lemmy is more technical, politicsy, confrontational etc?
I havenβt been much on PixelFed since the massive explosion in users though.
There's a lot of the same people on both. Like me!
I think pixelfed communities would be a big boon to non-computer science/engineering type hobby communities. Which is a place in which lemmy majorly lacks. So good news imo.
Yeah, agreed. More content in these fields will help attract and retain more casual users on Lemmy.
oh never seen feddit.nu instance before? What region is it for?
Sweden
It's... complicated. It was originally issued for the Polynesian island Niue, but it's currently controlled by the Internet Foundation in Sweden. There are a lot of Swedish sites using it since "nu" means "now" in Swedish. Feddit.nu is the primary Swedish Lemmy instance since Feddit.se was registered but abandoned.
Interesting. Thanks for the background.
Because its root is ~Marxist techies, I think it takes many newbies by surprise and is not super enjoyable for the average user.
