Photos, not algorithms

Hey everyone! I’ve been posting daily on Pixelfed for a little over a month, and now I’m bringing those photos here too — starting with this one.

I’ve been a photographer since I was a kid, mostly working in photojournalism and documentary. I believe it’s important that photographers share their work beyond physical borders — and the fediverse feels like a great place to do that.

Pixelfed has been a refreshing alternative to Instagram — calmer, cleaner, and more about the photos themselves.

Curious to hear what you think. Excited to be here and see everyone’s perspective!

Finally, a photo and not just a snapshot! This one is great. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.

I found out earlier that you can post to lemmy directly from pixelfed by mentioning the community as seen here for example

I was able to follow your tip here. Thanks! [ https://lemmy.world/post/27981260 ]. It would be cooler if I could access the account and reply to comments with my pixelfed account. Do you know anything about that?

so far I can tell that top level comments on lemmy appear on the pixelfed post but child comments dont, which is unfortunate

Personally I am happy with Lemmy but I can see the appeal
