       #TwitterMigration people are regularly told that the FediVerse is not one big #Twitter but lots of little Twitters that can cross-post.In fact, it's lots of little Twitters, several little Instagrams, some YouTubes, & some other stuff; that can all cross-post.The FediVerse's equivalent of #Instagram is #Pixelfed.  If you find a Pixelfed WWW site, you'll see that it's roughly like Instagram.  People make accounts, post photographs, like each others' photos; you know the drill.(continued...)

       (...continued)The differences between #Pixelfed and Instagram are in the main twofold.First: Like there's no "Mastodon", rather there are a lot of WWW sites running the Mastodon server software; there's no "Pixelfed", rather there are several WWW sites running the Pixelfed software.There's not one big #Instagram, but lots of little Instagrams, to continue the analogy told to #TwitterMigration people.And second: They are connected to the other parts of the FediVerse.(continued...)

       (...continued)With the #Twitter and Instagram world, there's fuss showing people on Twitter what one may be doing on #Instagram.But Mastodon, Pleroma, #Pixelfed, Peertube, et al. just talk & (to a fairly extensive degree) just interoperate without fuss.You see, Mastodon WWW sites _already_ have to inter-communicate, so that your post from (say) Toot.Wales can be read by someone on (say) Masto.AI.  A Pixelfed WWW site just becomes _more of the same_.#TwitterMigration (continued...)

       (...continued)You can favourite, bookmark, and even reply.That's right.  You can look at a #Pixelfed post that has been boosted to you, or that is in the profile timeline of someone's account on a Pixelfed WWW site that you've brought up locally with search, or that you've pasted the URL of into the "paste URL" field: and just reply to it, just like you'd reply to a post made by someone on a(nother) Mastodon or Pleroma WWW site.#TwitterMigration #FediTips (continued...)

       (...continued)You don't need a Pixelfed account to follow, boost, favourite, bookmark, and talk to people with Pixelfed accounts.Examples:Here's me replying to a post on Pixelfed.Social from MastodonApp.UK:https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/110198565362190492And here's a thread where a post on Metapixl.COM got favourited, boosted, and replied to by people with Mastodon WWW site accounts:https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/110168587863971655Post a picture, people chat about it.  It all just works.#TwitterMigration #FediTips (continued...)
