Aren’t they both pulling the same activitypub data?
Comment on Pixelfed Uptick in Monthly Active Users

It’s really too bad that Lemmy MAUs are once again on a decline curve. I was really hoping we would stabilize above 50K MAU.

only in theory, Pixelfed doesn’t use groups, so Lemmy cannot access their content since Lemmy can’t follow users

Ugh, yeah I totally mixed the two up. Thanks for the clarification.

Im not sure piefed can as well? But it would be cool if it did.

I just tried and PieFed cannot access PixelFed posts. Mbin can do it.
Personally I don’t mind the separation between some platforms, I’m fine with having 2 accounts. The UX is designed to work with the style of content anyways. But I know a lot of people want everything to work with everything.

I like the opposite being able to fetch pictures from lemmy and piefed from pixelfed app

Add in the mbin/kbin mau and the piefed mau and you probably have a lot more.
