   We appreciate all the enthusiasm for Pixelfed, but we ask our community to please let photographers enjoy Mastodon and other platforms too!

   We aren't the only home for photos, we think we are pretty good, but the magic of the fediverse is that you can follow anyone, anywhere.

   We shouldn't push people to Pixelfed by replying to their Mastodon posts, we're big enough that many people can find us naturally.

   Thanks for understanding, and keep sharing those pixels ✨

     @Undead_Zeratul Yeah, I don't think it comes from a malicious place, rather there is a lot of excitement for Pixelfed and there are a lot of new users to the fediverse that don't even know what the fediverse is.

     @pixelfed plus, isn't this like, the entire point of the protocol, to allow users to post on any instance and have their content show up on any compatible application connected to the fediverse network?

     People should be able to post their stuff wherever and if it contains images, PixelFed should be (and for the most part, is) able to pickup and display that post with those images to their users.

     I don't understand trying to coerce others into a specific instance/app on the network

     @pixelfed @Undead_Zeratul I haven't seen those posts/replies, but maybe they're coming from the fact that the Mastodon® software only displays a maximum of 4 photos?

     All other Fediverse software can display more than that regardless it their attachment feature is limited. So, a Mastodon® user have no idea they're actually missing a lot.

     Maybe, Pixelfed can automate a short line "this post contains more than 4 photos, see more at LINK_HERE". 😁 Like what Bridgy and Wafrn did when an AP post is longer than ATproto's max 300 characters.

     @artcollisions It could be, maybe the.recent updates changed how it works, instead of simply discarding the 5th attachment onwards, it now blocks the entire post. 😳

     @youronlyone I had a post fail to show up on Mastodon. I'm wondering if it's because it had more than 4 pictures.
