      “compete” is a strong word. They can see us and we can see them. People are already posting from pixelfed to lemmy so its just pushing both platforms forward.

        I wouldnt be into anything like Instagram so it would hardly be interchangeable with something like Lemmy (Reddit) for me. If they get more people turned on to the Fediverse than sweet

          Yeah honestly the biggest change between pixelfed and mastodon is the UI. Its a very Instagram like, but simplified (at least at the moment).

          Mastodon technically has more “features” but at the end of the day, it all about how people want to interact with their socials.

            Hos their onboarding experience? I get the feeling onbording is in the top issues that are said to be why people are less inclined to sign up

        Is it like with Mastodon? Do I need a separate account to use Pixelfed well?

          Actually I believe you can use Mastodon as the login in this case: https://pixelfed.blog/p/2023/feature/introducing-sign-in-with-mastodon-streamlining-sign-up-and-login-on-pixelfed

      They will join us once the long promised groups implementation is finally merged in Pixelfed.

      I wouldn’t say it was competing, it would be like saying Reddit and Instagram competed.
