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.

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

Thanks for commenting. I'll start posting some opinions in addition to photos.

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

Dude, this is perfect. I'll try this today. Thanks for the tip!

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
