It's insane how things can change quickly

Piefed seems to work well but yeah Lemmy still struggles unless the instances have people actively following both at the same time. Kinda confusing unfortunately.

I tried fetching a Lemmy post (with an image in it) from Pixelfed yesterday and it didnt work, so I'm not sure if they are federating well

I hope so. I was on Reddit yesterday and even the super obscure subs often get more co rent than the biggest ones here.

I feel like reddit is dying "too slowly". It's getting shittier every day but it's such a slow process that there's no organized movement at the moment. There haven't been any major fuckups in a while.
