    In a perfect world Pixelfed would be tightly integrated with Lemmy and Mastodon. Pixelfed is the Fediverse’s image sharing platform.

    I tried posting a picture from Pixelfed to Mastodon several months ago and it was not integrated at all. I went back to uploading directly to Mastodon.

      That’s the idea longterm. There just wasn’t that much interest in integrating all the different platforms until recently. Each fediverse platform was a niche one oriented around small groups.

        For those admins still wondering take a look at how Mastodon did with the user explosion last year. I doubt the stack is that similar but I don’t remember lots of instances going offline forever due to space constraints (alone). Some may have gone done to overall lack of resources but many are doing quite well.

      But what does that solve? That only puts the burden of paying for storage and bandwidth on the pixelfed instances.
