Genuine question - what's the advantage of Pixelfed over Lemmy? Is it just more photo-oriented in some way? Or just different strokes for different folks?
Great to see more federation though!
It was just easier to get Pixelfed up and running compared to Lemmy. I'm using Yunohost, which has applications for both, but the one for Lemmy isn't working properly (uploading images is broken, for example). In order to install a fully functional version, I have have to go through this whole process of setting up Docker, which I haven't figured out yet. The Yunohost application for Pixelfed almost just works. I had to do some klugey stuff, but nothing major. I'll get Lemmy running eventually, but this was just a small win for me.
Totally fair - thanks for the response!
