pixelfed? asking for opinions (pawb.social)

So since I joined this Lemmy journey, I've started looking at other options and found Pixelfed. Does anyone here use it? How is the service? And can you link with Lemmy?

I saw it also uses the activitypub protocol, so I'm just trying to see how far this protocol reaches.

I setup a single user pixelfed server for myself, so far the UI is pretty nice, I like it more than Mastodon, and self hosting was probably a lot harder than it in needed to be. I haven't tried viewing my Lemmy posts from there, but I can look at stuff from Mastodon & visa-versa. I don't I've gotten it to federate properly so I can't say how the community there is, but look at the trending posts on pixelfed.social and pixelfed.art, it seems to be mostly photography right now.

I'm in the same situation. I spun up my own PixelFed instance on Vultr with BackBlaze B2 storage. The site works, but it doesn't seem to federate correctly.

Are you getting posts out but no posts in (unless you paste the link into the search box)?
