After years of hardcore development, the Pixelfed project is taking a big next step by seeking crowdfunding dollars on Kickstarter.

Pixelfed has been making incredible strides over the past few years, and has begun developing a suite of different platforms and services for the #Fediverse. After just one day on Kickstarter, they’ve already smashed their campaign goal.

But they still need your help!

    follow some of the bigger hashtags to get input, from there you can branch out and follow specific accounts (and unfollow the original hashtags if you want).

    a few bigger ones are bloomscrolling caturday mastoart photography silentsunday fensterfreitag

        hmm apologies, I didn’t realize that personal instances were like that. I’m on pixelfed.de so I just shared what worked for me a few days ago.

        I’m guessing you could search for a few accounts on various servers to follow directly who post with those hashtags to get the ball rolling?

          Yeah, but that’s the thing. You can only search if you know the exact username of the user on the other server. But you can’t find usernames on other servers without creating an account there.

          I wish it was more like Lemmy where you can browse other instances without an account at that instance.

                  Thanks!

                  Though I appear to be having trouble having people follow me from other servers. I don’t see you in my followers list, and when I tried following a test account on another server, I didn’t see their posts. Not sure what’s going on. Does it just take a while for the servers to sync?

                  Do you see any of my posts?

                    I think it may take some time to sync up. Cannot see your posts (yet). I sent you a Welcome msg as dm, did you get that?

                    I have these same issues with mine. Checking the logs shows the requests are coming through but nothing updates, which is annoying. I’m at my wits’ end!

                    After experiencing several other bugs I’m thinking of calling it quits and giving it time to mature a bit.
