Im not sure piefed can as well? But it would be cool if it did.
Comment on Pixelfed Uptick in Monthly Active Users

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.

Is it possible that because pixelfed is more like microblogs with focus on photos mbin can access them? Because mbin always has microblogs support.

I would say that Pixelfed is closer to the microblog space than it is the threaded discussion space.
It's essentially microblogging except with an image media focus (or video, in the case of Loops.)
To each their own, some people communicate better using pictures, some better over short text, some better over long-form text. There's a space for them all :smile:

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

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