    To be clear, this creates a separate Pixelfed account, it just uses your Mastodon info for quick profile setup and authentication.

    not to be spicy, but… in all honesty, what’s the difference between posting on Pixelfed or on Mastodon. Post image + caption. Same on both, except on Mastodon I can choose not to post an image. I know Pixelfed is image-first, but if your friends and followers are on Mastodon and see/like/reblog my photos there. why would one need/want a Pixelfed account to manage too?

    Know what I mean? I’m just struggling to justify yet-another-social media account, especially as I wind down my time on IG.
