   I see people question @pixelfed over @Mastodon, and that's fine (I ❤️ Mastodon, sent from Mastodon)

   However I think it's important to note that Pixelfed has Stories, Collections, Portfolios and much more!

   You can post pics on Twitter, but Flickr, 500px and Instagram still thrive!

   Portfolios: https://portfolio.pixelfed.social/dansup

   Collections: https://pixelfed.social/c/530360750719739665

   Use whatever best fits you, and know that @pixelfed + @Mastodon work great together ✨

     @dansup But what if I post just text 90% of the time? Will #pixelfed work for me?

     @dansup Hey, can I ask why Pixelfed doesn’t allow uploading video taken on iOS devices? According to google it works if you edit a line in the .env file and so it seems like a really weird omission from the default config.

     @dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon I've mostly approached it as 'Tools for the job'. I use Pixelfed for photos because it has the tools to organise, present, and deliver photos.

     I use Mastodon for the 'shouting into the void', and retooting the photos on Pixelfed. (maybe I should use Mastodon for more, but I've always struggled with that side of social media).

     I know that they work together, but I've not found a particular use-case, other than easy sharing, that works for me.

     @dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon I like the idea of Pixelfed, but for me the difference lies in what I use Mastodon and Instagram for. Mastodon is for having a community broadly centred on philosophy, while Instagram is for staying in touch with family and friends. Many academics use Mastodon, but no one from my private circles knows what Pixelfed is.

     @dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon Do stories posted on Pixelfed show up in mastodon ? If so how? Also is it possible to post stories from the iOS app ?

     @dansup True, I plan on using Pixelfed for photo sharing. I've never been big on Instagram and never experienced stories but I'm happy I get to experience it. The hardest part will be getting friends to come over. It's the issue I have with Mastodon. So posting seems a tad weird to share if you have no one to share it with. But I guess it also goes to the main feed.

     @dansup @pixelfed @Mastodon my problem with pixelfied is that you can’t follow hashtags, only users, which makes it feel so small. I don’t know who to follow, and flooding a bunch of strangers seems counterintuitive.

     so I don’t. and it feels very quiet and small, and it’s hard to find things I’m interested in.
