is the social aspect of pixelfed required? meaning, could I just upload screenshots and images for threads like this and not have to deal with comments, likes, and followers? I just want to link to images.
It looks like the Fediverse analog of Instagram. Imgur allows anonymous uploads, so you can upload throwaway junk (e.g., memes) and not care. It doesn’t look like you can do that with Pixelfed, anymore than you could have done that with Instagram.
Thanks! Imgur doesn’t play well with my vpn, and I’m not able to upload photos directly (in the vegetarian magazine, at least). I think PixelFed might be a good workaround for me.
I just signed up for PixelFed but haven’t uploaded anything as of yet.

curious about this too
I haven’t a clue. I need to go set up my profile and see how it all works.
Yo this is awesome! Is there a way to get ShareX to upload to it?
pixelfed is very interesting! fits the free/libre aspect i was looking for! added it in my bookmarks
I actually just googled to make sure bookbark wasn’t some new service I just hadn’t heard of yet…
my bad! LOL
It’s also a fedi software, so pixelfed accounts show up in the microblog tab here on kbin if they are federated.

New to these fedi sites, but isn’t there a way to have one login to login across all of them?
No, but you can interact with other “platforms” while been logged in on your home instance(platform)
