Pixelfed is a federated photo sharing platform similar to instagram, signing in with Mastodon lets you carry over who you’re following on Mastodon.
So I wouldn’t say it’s too important, but I thought it belonged here.
I think it’s also worth mentioning here that, since both pixelfed and mastodon belong to the fediverse, you can follow pixelfed users from mastodon and vice versa and see each others posts. :)
That’s why the whole carrying over the people you follow stuff is a thing.
Yeah. Even though I’ll probably never use Pixelfed (I don’t use Instagram, either, or anything like it) I still acknowledge that’s a pretty cool feature.
I’ve heard the name Pixelfed before, but I don’t know what it is, or why the ability to sign in with Mastodon is important.

You’re totally right; it does belong here. It’s nice to see Mastadon getting more acceptance!
