People like looking at photos of food and cats more than being railed for having "incorrect* political viewpoints? (/s for anyone not picking up on that btw:-P)

I literally just got called a snowflake in another thread for saying people should stop posting US politics in general communities. People still wonder why Lemmy has a bad reputation even in the entire Fediverse... Sometimes I wonder why I still bother here.
i just hate the way most people here assume everyone is coming from US smh

My feed on Pixelfed is way better the second week, now that I've followed a couple dozen folks and put some posts out there.
And pro tip: Post and tag a cute picture of your pet and people will see your account.
They need some starter packs like BlueSky because all I’m seeing are some art photography highly likely ai generated - and I have no idea where to find content that has any value. On searching the hashtags I’m getting mastodon posts containing links that can’t be clicked.
I thought that my first couple of days, but TBH, I actually really like that Fedi social media is completely self-directed. Not having the Jack Dorseys, Donald Trumps, and Zuckerbergs of the world vomiting content or stupid ads onto my feed is well worth the modicum of extra effort.
I found half of the people I'm following just by posting a picture of my dog and tagging it #CuteAnimals, and that got a nice response. I do follow a few hashtags and found follows there, but I will probably take them off once I'm up to 30-40 follows and I like my feed.

Looks really cool, just discovered something liket his existed.
One question, does LBRY (The protocol powering Odysee) count as something Federated ?
There was a github request to integrate lbry into fedi, but it never gained any traction.

So, no, they're not in the fediverse and don't interconnect with the other players.
Here are the current places that play well together.
Odysee had a shot at making it bigger than it was, but it's really drowning in bad (moral and qualty) content. They never really recovered from their crypto scheme, once the SEC started looking into them, they got screwed. I'm down with the idea of paying creators in crypto, but they were selling it as a security.

Does anyone have recommendations who to follow on pixelfed?
Yesterday I revived my old Pixelfed account, and I have set myself a challenge, upload one photo every day for a month.
I have plenty of photos from the last decade to pick from
I don't know if this will mean that my account will be active in the long run, but I'll give it an honest try.
I posted this earlier in the thread:

@stoy@pxlmo.com
Yeah dude me obviously. @mayur@pixelfed.social
If you look at monthly active users instead of total users, Pixelfed is a strong 2nd place.

Is there any integration with Lemmy? Cross promotion would be awesome, and something big tech can’t actually do.
I am but a humble end user using the web interface, but I do know mastodon comments can somehow show up on Lemmy.
Hello from Mastodon.
All of these "talk" ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.
