That's weird, why would you want to see other fediverse content in Pixelfed? Surely it should be all Pixelfed content like op expects.
Lots of great artists are on Mastodon instances, like mastodon.art. Including their image posts means you can see some really good paintings.
It just depends on how you want to use your account. I can see wanting to follow PeerTube or Loops accounts from Pixelfed. I follow a few Mastodon users who just post photos.
The default behaviour is to only show content with attached media but you can change that in settings too. So you can use it as a microblogging service if you just like the look and feel of Pixelfed.
I was just looking for the setting to enable text-only posts on pixelfed.social but it doesn't seem to be there. 😐
Huh. Yeah, I can't find it either. I guess it's been removed. Or maybe I hallucinated it? Spooky.
No it was real

And then made opt-in

And then removed at some point, I guess.
Thanks for that deep dive! Glad to not be hallucinating.
