Now that I’m all set up i put my profile on Facebook to see if I can attract some more “regular” people.
I have an artist friend who was interested in the idea of running a Pixelfed account side-by-side with his instagram, but Instagram linking to the Pixelfed with some bonus content there. I’m gonna see if he needs help with that later today.
Is there a way to login with my mstdn.ca account like I can with the main server?
Update: It should be working now!
We're going to explore some more. We didn't disable it, so it might be in the config somewhere
It's been out for a while: https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/110727848627479712
Personally I found the mastodon sign up to be unreliable, and ended up making an account separately, back when I was on another Pixelfed instance
Yes! It's finally here! My first experience with Pixelfed was back in 2019 on an instance which got shut down shortly after I signed up. It really demonstrated the importance of picking the "right" instance. Given Fedecan's track record with Lemmy.ca, I know Pixelfed.ca won't suffer the same fate. 😊
Is it possible to just use our lemmy accounts to log in? My understanding of activity pub and the fedeverse is that it should be possible, but maybe I'm misunderstanding something.
Unfortunately you can't do that yet. That's one of those things that will hopefully be possible eventually with the Fediverse. Right now you can view content from elsewhere, but the accounts are tied to the instance that you are on.
It is possible to sign in with a Mastodon account on some instances, thanks to an integration they set up. It might be possible to do something similar with Lemmy, but I imagine it would be more difficult. Mastodon and Pixelfed were relatively similar already.
For example, it's technically possible to view your lemmy user on pixelfed.ca: https://pixelfed.ca/i/web/profile/798599852495369073
You can also view a pixelfed.ca user on here: https://lemmy.ca/u/shadow@pixelfed.ca
However both profiles are blank, so federation between Pixelfed and Lemmy isn't as smooth as say, Pixelfed and Mastodon
This is great! Thanks!
Can't sign up through the web app. The web form sends the request, then the password fields clear, then nothing. Just stays there.
Is this like fediverse Canadian Twitter? Is this meant to replace lemmy.ca?
pixelfed is a fediverse version of Instagram. and no, not a replacement. more like a complimentary service.
American here. Fantastic job, guys! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Don't break this boycott, you have more power than the fascists want the world to think!
You can do this. I believe in you!
Is migration possible from another instance?
