it's going to be fun adding an anthology of my photos to mastodon. i'll try to go in order
@drdrowland An anthology of your photos?
@trinsec years of photos taken, shared on twitter, and then left on a detached hard drive. going back and rechoosing favorites is a new design object
@drdrowland Ooh. If you're heavily into displaying images, and want a federated photo album, maybe a Pixelfed instance might be of interest to you. It's basically the Fediverse's answer to Instagram.
You can check out https://pixelfed.org where you can also choose a server just like you had to with Mastodon.
@trinsec by federated are you implying that pixelfed content is reproduced/subscribable on mastodon?
@drdrowland Yes, you can follow Pixelfed users from here. Their posts will be looking the same as all other posts you see in our timelines, but over there at Pixelfed you'd be able to have a collection going and such.
You could just check it out. If it's not working for you then you can drop the idea of Pixelfed and just post the pics here with your posts a la Twitter. :)
But this is the power of Federated software. PeerTube is a YouTube alternative, and I can follow their accounts/channels from the comfort of my Mastodon account as well. When you check the Federated Timeline, chances are you already saw a lot of non-Mastodon posts that you were simply not aware of.
It's all pretty spiffy and will only get better in the future. :)
@trinsec thanks for the overview. all that sounds good. i'll make an account and see how things go.
