It's been brave of you to try switching! You're an inspiration to us all! And hopefully these platforms will get better

TrashDiva@mastodon.social @NotAHope@mastodon.social Maybe we should do comments exclusively with our Mastodon profiles on our Pixelfed posts. 
The b̶e̶s̶t̶ okayest of both worlds ...

I almost want to get an account just to experience what you're describing
A few other people have moved over and now I never see them 🫤

I can't work this app. I've gotten old. Can't keep up with the photos/people as much as I would like to. Everything is so fast and cluttered here!!
Watch my sorry butt come crawling back to Pixelfed in a few days... (I will only accept being called an idiot if it's in the form of a meme.)
Anyway, please for the love of all that is (insert your own here), update the damn thing! It needs it!
Nighty night.

@NotAHope this makes me laugh. i always used my mastodon and pixelfeds for 2 different things so I largely kept both separate, but it was also because i could never quite get mastodon and I have a lot of trouble with sequential posts that some people do, like I see them in my timeline backwards with other people’s unrelated posts mixed in. i have no time to figure that out lol

@NotAHope but also in pixelfed right now I’m only seeing the 1 most recent post so….

I'm sure you're right, but I just don't get what you mean. On the whole, I'm happy here and find it infinitely more peace-of-mind-ful than that horrid brainwashing place I was before.

That's why I like to keep Mastodon and Pixelfed separated.
Btw, Dansup has shipped an update to #pixelfed: "We have shipped a fix for hashtag following, users on pixelfed.social should see followed tag posts in your home feed️"

I use Mastodon for conversations, thoughts, daily life - as a journal one could say. There, I only follow ~60 people and am only followed by ~50. Thus my feed isn't cluttered and I am surrounded by people I like (some of them I even know in person).
Pixelfed - to me - is a totally different story. I am not here every day, this account is not locked, I don't (usually
) engage in conversations, I am followed by an (to me) unbelievable amount of people. This is my haven when all I want to do is look at beautiful photos and keep it light.
The Fediverse is so big. It caters to every need, but it takes getting used to and finding the right instance, app, software/platform.
So, don't give up, try things out and maybe learn to accept that this is not run by one giant company with tons of money and therefore things aren't perfect or may take longer.
In the end, it's worth it
I love the freedom and diversity of the Fediverse and am very grateful to Dan and Eugen and all the others who developed all of this

️@NotAHope@mastodon.social try Vernissage.photos! You can migrate your Pixelfed account now (it will keep who you follow and your followers I think, not the posts, unfortunately)

welcome back...
. Positive : You learned a lot.

️@NotAHope There are ways to manage the firehose. This page from @FediTips might be helpful:
If you scroll down there’s a section called “The timelines are scrolling way too quickly, I can’t keep up with them! How do I slow them down or pause them?” with some quick steps to take. I should probably do that myself.
You can also mute conversations you no longer want to follow, hide boosts from an account, etc. Hang in there!

@NotAHope I also just found this, on creating and curating your own mini-timelines. Might be helpful:
