The Pixelfed developer has been teasing Lemmy compatible groups for some years now. Apparently the code already exists, but for some reason it never gets merged.

At one point last year it looked like it would finally be released soon and I even set up a Pixelfed instance on my server to test it, but then somehow they decided working on Loops and Sup. was more important.

I got so annoyed by this lack of focus on basic functionality in general and a few other things regarding it that I deleted the instance again and do not plan to bother with anything this dev puts out again. Best of luck to them though, but I have better things to do with my time…

I think they actually just put out a fresh teaser post about it.

@hamid this compatibility really needs to be ironed out, @dansup what can we do to start the process of adding more compatibility between the networks?

@hamid @dansup what do you think @dessalines, what can we do to iron out better compatibility, cause the current situation is not great

Maybe it works the same way with Pixelfed as it does between Mastodon etc. and Lemmy? πŸš€ A little guide on how to communicate with Lemmy from Mastodon Friendica Hubzilla Sharkey etc..

I have not yet been able to test it with Pixelfed because I don’t have an account.

Pixelfed only shows messages with images attached.

That is probably the default setting. However, you can also set Pixelfed to display posts without an image. I don’t know where exactly, but Pixelfed users wrote this because it has been asked about it several times.

That is not the case anymore, that setting has been removed some versions ago

does this mean that the option to receive text posts no longer exists OR is this option now the default setting?

I think it no longer exists
